* decl.cc (char_len_param_value): Simplify a copy of the expr
and replace the original if there is no error.
* gfortran.h : Remove the redundant field 'rankguessed' from
'gfc_association_list'.
* resolve.cc (resolve_assoc_var): Remove refs to 'rankguessed'.
(resolve_variable): Associate names with constant or structure
constructor targets cannot have array refs.
* trans-array.cc (gfc_conv_expr_descriptor): Guard expression
character length backend decl before using it. Suppress the
assignment if lhs equals rhs.
* trans-io.cc (gfc_trans_transfer): Scalarize transfer of
associate variables pointing to a variable. Add comment.
* trans-stmt.cc (trans_associate_var): Remove requirement that
the character length be deferred before assigning the value
returned by gfc_conv_expr_descriptor. Also, guard the backend
decl before testing with VAR_P.
