[J3] BOZ in an array constructor

N2146.pdf is the final committee draft of F2018.
18-007r1.pdf appears to be the current working document.
J3 seems to have eliminated a constraint, so C7110
in N2146.pdf is now C7109 in 18-007r1.pdf.  The renumber
of constraints has its downside.

All 5 compilers I tried, including 2 versions of gfortran, along with Cray, Intel, and PGI, compiled the program and produced the same output. I suspect it works because INT is elemental, so the function is applied to each element of the array separately.
