Intel Fortran compatibility issues for older FVCOM versions

With Intel Fortran compiler versions 15 and above, the behaviour of pointers has changed and FVCOM experiences problems in some FVCOM modules. To date (2016-10-25), FABM has problems when reading boundary data for ERSEM. Other identified problems appear when running the nesting output (NCNEST). The problems manifest as FVCOM 'hanging' whilst utilising 100% of the CPU(s).

This has been fixed in FVCOM 4.0 and 5.0 (it is to do with initialising pointers) but that change has not been backported to FVCOM 3.x.
