Add support for AOCC & Flang w/ the Autotools (HDFGroup#3674)

* Adds a config/clang-fflags options file to support Flang
* Corrects missing "-Wl," from linker options in the libtool wrappers
  when using Flang, the MPI Fortran compiler wrappers, and building
  the shared library. This would often result in unrecognized options
  like -soname.
* Enable -nomp w/ Flang to avoid linking to the OpenMPI library.

CMake can build the parallel, shared library w/ Fortran using AOCC
and Flang, so no changes were needed for that build system.

Fixes GitHub issues HDFGroup#3439, HDFGroup#1588, HDFGroup#366, HDFGroup#280
