Until now, `f18` would:
1. Use Flang to unparse the input files
2. Call an external Fortran compiler to compile the unparsed source
files (generated in step 1)
With this patch, `f18` will stop after unparsing the input source files,
i.e. step 1 above. The `flang` bash script will take care of step 2,
i.e. calling an external Fortran compiler driver to compile them. This
way:
* the functionality of `f18` is reduced - it will only drive Flang (as
opposed to delegating code-generation to an external tool on top of
this)
* we will able to switch between `f18` and `flang-new` for unparsing before
an external Fortran compiler is called for code-generation
The updated `flang` bash script needs to specify the output file when
using the `-fdebug-unparse` action. Both `f18` and `flang-new` have been
updated accordingly.
These changes were discussed in [1] as a requirement for replacing `f18`
with `flang-new`.
