[Bug fortran/37988] New: Edit descriptor checking (compile time) for "T)"

The following program is invalid as the (Holerith) string has 22 and not 21
characters. Thus the format is ...<Holerith string>T).

gfortran accepts the program at compile time, but rejects it at run time with:
Fortran runtime error: Positive width required in format
EVEL =',F7.4, 21H ONE-SIDED AT THE LEFT)
                                       ^
g95 and NAG f95 detect the problem already at compile time - gfortran should do
the same.


        WRITE(0,8001) SIG
        WRITE(6,8001) SIG
 8001 FORMAT(//,'     SIGNIFICANCE LEVEL =',F7.4, 21H ONE-SIDED AT THE LEFT)
end
