[Bug fortran/31612] New: -fsyntax-only documentation is not accurate

The doc for -fsyntax-only says "Check the code for syntax errors, but don’t do
anything beyond that." while that option actually does more than that: it
creates module files (the *.mod files).

If we believe it's an intended behaviour, it should be noted in the docs. If we
believe it's not what we want, we should make another -fgenerate-module-files
option and handle both. (we need an option to generate module files, because
it's used by the libgomp build machinery).

Personnaly, I'd go for the second option.

module a
end module a

use a
end

How are you going to handle this?  There's no meaningful syntax checking
without also creating modules.  One could maybe create the modules in a
temporary place?

Simply fixing the doc is also fine with me :)
