     Drop explicit support for Fortran 77 in Cactus

     This patch drops explicit support for Fortran 77 in Cactus. Fortran 77
     is, for all practical purposes, a subset of Fortran 90, and thus
     Fortran 77 code can be compiled by Fortran 90 compilers.

     There is currently no platform that has a Fortran 77 and no Fortran 90
     compiler, and there is no Fortran source code in Cactus that cannot be
     compiled by a Fortran 90 compiler.

     This patch removes/ignores all configuration options regarding Fortran
     77, and compiles .f77 and .F77 files with a Fortran 90 compiler. This
     simplifies the configuration stage of Cactus.
