Fortran Compiled to WebAssembly

I think while flang (https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/tree/master/flang) is getting more stable. It would be a lot easier to compile Fortran into WASM with LLVM's WASM backend

That would save a few steps (gfortran, dragonegg, llvm-as), so it's definitely worth trying.

But note that technically speaking the current approach also uses the LLVM wasm backend (after doing all the above, it uses the LLVM wasm backend to compile LLVM IR to wasm).
