PR #95388 split the former iso_fortran_env.f90 into a file for emitting the .mod (current iso_fortran_env.f90) and another file for emitting the object file (iso_fortran_env_impl.f90). The separation becomes unecessary with #137828 such that we can undo the workaround again.

Reapplication of #137828, changes:
* Workaround CMAKE_Fortran_PREPROCESS_SOURCE issue for CMake < 2.24: The
issue is that `try_compile` does not forward manually-defined compiler
flang variables to the test build environment; instead of just a
negative test result, it aborts the configuration step itself. To be
fair, manually defining these variables is deprecated since at least
CMake 3.6.
* Missing flang cmd line flags for CMake < 3.28 `-target=`, `-O2`, `-O3`
* It is now possible to set FLANG_RT_ENABLED_STATIC=OFF and
FLANG_RT_ENABLE_SHARED=OFF at the same and is the default for amdgpu and
nvptx targets. In this mode, only the .mod files are compiled --
necessary for module files in
lib/clang/22/finclude/flang/(nvptx64-nvidia-cuda|amdgpu-amd-amdhsa)/*.mod
to be available.
* For compiling omp_lib.mod for nvptx and amdgpu, the module build
functionality must be hoisted out if openmp's runtime/ directory which
is only included for host targets. This PR now requires #169909.
 

Move building the .mod files from openmp/flang to openmp/flang-rt using
a shared mechanism. Motivations to do so are:

1. Most modules are target-dependent and need to be re-compiled for each
target separately, which is something the LLVM_ENABLE_RUNTIMES system
already does. Prime example is `iso_c_binding.mod` which encodes the
target's ABI. Constants such as [`c_long_double` also have different
values](https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/d748c81218bee39dafb9cc0c00ed7831a3ed44c3/flang-rt/lib/runtime/iso_c_binding.f90#L77-L81).
Most other modules have `#ifdef`-enclosed code as well. For instance
this caused offload targets nvptx64-nvidia-cuda/amdgpu-amd-amdhsa to use
the modules files compiled for the host which may contrain uses of the
types REAL(10) or REAL(16) not available for nvptx/amdgpu.

3. CMake has support for Fortran that we should use. Among other things,
it automatically determines module dependencies so there is no need to
hardcode them in the CMakeLists.txt.

4. It allows using Fortran itself to implement Flang-RT. Currently, only
`iso_fortran_env_impl.f90` emits object files that are needed by Fortran
applications (#89403). The workaround of #95388 could be reverted (PR
#169525).


If using Flang for cross-compilation or target-offloading, flang-rt must
now be compiled for each target not only for the library, but also to
get the target-specific module files. For instance in a bootstrapping
runtime build, this can be done by adding:
`-DLLVM_RUNTIME_TARGETS=default;nvptx64-nvidia-cuda;amdgpu-amd-amdhsa`.


Some new dependencies come into play:
* openmp depends on flang-rt for building `lib_omp.mod` and
`lib_omp_kinds.mod`. Currently, if flang-rt is not found then the
modules are not built.
* check-flang depends on flang-rt: If not found, the majority of tests
are disabled. If not building in a bootstrpping build, the location of
the module files can be pointed to using
`-DFLANG_INTRINSIC_MODULES_DIR=<path>`, e.g. in a flang-standalone
build. Alternatively, the test needing any of the intrinsic modules
could be marked with `REQUIRES: flangrt-modules`.
* check-flang depends on openmp: Not a change; tests requiring
`lib_omp.mod` and `lib_omp_kinds.mod` those are already marked with
`openmp_runtime`.

As intrinsic are now specific to the target, their location is moved
from `include/flang` to `<resource-dir>/finclude/flang/<triple>`. The
mechnism to compute the location have been moved from flang-rt
(previously used to compute the location of `libflang_rt.*.a`) to common
locations in `cmake/GetToolchainDirs.cmake` and
`runtimes/CMakeLists.txt` so they can be used by both, openmp and
flang-rt. Potentially the mechnism could also be shared by other
libraries such as compiler-rt.

`finclude` was chosen because `gfortran` uses it as well and avoids
misuse such as `#include <flang/iso_c_binding.mod>`. The search location
is now determined by `ToolChain` in the driver, instead of by the
frontend. Another subdirectory `flang` avoids accidental inclusion of
gfortran-modules which due to compression would result in
user-unfriendly errors. Now the driver adds `-fintrinsic-module-path`
for that location to the frontend call (Just like gfortran does).
`-fintrinsic-module-path` had to be fixed for this because ironically it
was only added to `searchDirectories`, but not
`intrinsicModuleDirectories_`. Since the driver determines the location,
tests invoking `flang -fc1` and `bbc` must also be passed the location
by llvm-lit. This works like llvm-lit does for finding the include dirs
for Clang using `-print-file-name=...`.
