building fpm with ifort #520

Description

@urbanjost

Is there any interest in a version of fpm that can be built with the Intel ifort compiler? There is what I think is a bug in ifort that can be worked around, as demonstrated by the single-file build in
https://github.com/urbanjost/fpm-tools/blob/main/tools/bootstrap/fpm_intel.F90
but it we just want to stick with gfortran for building fpm itself I don't want to make the kludge (essentially, changing the USE FPM_TOML to a USE TOMLF for TOML_TABLE). If you want to see the error, look for the lines with !x! and switch which module TOML_TABLE is used from).

Other than it being useful during development of fpm to use multiple compilers and their associated tools (not a trivial advantage by itself) does anyone have a use-case like an environment where everything must be built from source and a recent gfortran(1) is not installed? That is, is anyone being held back from using fpm(1) that would be able to use it if it built with ifort(1)?
