<summary>Changes</summary>

The logical abbreviations .T. and .F. (for .TRUE. and .FALSE.) are a nonstandard extension that flang accepts only under -flogical-abbreviations, which is disabled by default because these spellings -- and the operator forms .N./.A./.O./.X. -- are also valid defined-operator names.

Of these, only the literals .T. and .F. cause a parse failure, since the operator forms parse as defined operators and instead fail later in semantics ("No operator .A. defined").

Consider the following code: `logical :: flag = .F.`

When -flogical-abbreviations is off, such code may cause a confusing cascade of errors that dosn't give the user a clue about the option that would accept it. The new implementation keeps the existing diagnostics and additionally emits a note pointing at the abbreviation:

  This nonstandard logical abbreviation requires the '-flogical-abbreviations' option
