Keeping the PR open, added Harald as co-author for all his
suggestions and the idea of using standard functions to extract
the components.

     Fortran: [PR93727] Implement EX format specifier for WRITE

     These changes implement a portion of the Fortran 2018
     EX format specifier for WRITE output. Hexadecimal
     floating point formats for KIND=4,8,10, and 16 real
     numbers if supported by the configured machine.

     Format tokens are added as place holders for future leading
     zero specifiers.

     Remaining to be completed is proper rounding of truncated
     hex float strings and implementing the READ functions. These
     will be a followup patches.
