[flang] Adjust "doubled operator" expression extension (#93353)

Most Fortran compilers accept "doubled operators" as a language
extension. This is the use of a unary '+' or '-' operator that is not
the first unparenthesized operator in an expression, as in 'x*-y'.

This compiler has implemented this extension, but in a way that's
different from other compilers' behavior. I interpreted the unary
'+'/'-' as a unary operator in the sense of C/C++, giving it a higher
priority than any binary (dyadic) operator.

All other compilers with this extension, however, give a unary '+'/'-' a
lower precedence than exponentiation ('**'), a binary operator that
C/C++ lacks. And this interpretation makes more sense for Fortran,
anyway, where the standard conforming '-x**y' must mean '-(x**y)'
already.

This patch makes 'x*-y**z' parse as 'x*-(y**z)', not 'x*(-y)**z)', and
adds a test to ensure that it does.
