[PATCH, WWW-DOCS] Deprecate non-standard hexadecimal BOZ constants

[Mark Eggleston]

Add a note the the Fortran changes to the effect that non-standard BOZ 
constants are deprecated.

Is the wording OK?

Hi Mark,

it is more than just 'X' – also B/O/Z when used as postfix ('AB'Z) are 
nonstandard as in general the use outside DATA and a handful of 
intrinsic functions. For instance,  print *, Z'ABC'  is also nonstandard 
and affected by -fallow-invalid-boz. (GCC < 10 silently accepted the 
latter.)

I also come up with a gcc-10/changes.html wording; however, I am sure 
that my wording should be tweaked as well.

See https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2020-01/msg00896.html — I 
additionally also modified the diagnostic and the documentation; 
hopefully, in a sensible way.

Thanks,

Tobias

Add a note the the Fortran changes to the effect that non-standard BOZ 
constants are deprecated.

Is the wording OK?
