[Bug fortran/36382] New: Support $ as first character in symbol names and in IMPLICT

Some compilers (such as ifort) allow symbols which start with a $ sign - and
they allow IMPLICT with $. gfortran currently does not recognize these.

Solution:
a) Support it as ifort does
b) Document the non-support in the -fdollar-ok documentation.

Doc patch here: http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2009-05/msg00078.html

I am against allowing $ as first letter in identifiers, as there now are much
better ways to do that (and it's not such a common practice anyway).
