New description:

 Thanks to the GCC spkg, most uses of the `SAGE_FORTRAN` and
 `SAGE_FORTRAN_LIB` environment variables are not needed anymore.  So I
 propose to continue supporting them for now, but deprecate their usage.

 Instead, we should support the standard variable `FC` as alternative to
 `SAGE_FORTRAN`. And I think (`LD_`)`LIBRARY_PATH` is a good alternative
 for `SAGE_FORTRAN_LIB`.

 '''Apply''':
  - to SAGE_ROOT: [attachment:13349_deprecate_sage_fortran.patch]
  - to the Sage library: [attachment:13349_doc.patch]
