New GCClassic feature or discussion

Intel has revealed that the icc/icpc/ifort compilers will be discontinued by late 2024 in favor of the newer icx/ifx LLVM compilers.

We will need to support both ifort and ifx compilers for a time, given that some users may not be able to convert right away. This will require updates to compilation options in CMakeLists.txt and CMakeScripts/ in this repository

Also we will need to benchmark with both ifort and ifx to make sure that the new compilers do not introduce any unexpected changes.

FASRC should have the Intel 2024 compilers and related libraries (MPI, netCDF, netCDF-Fortran, HDF5, etc) installed by March 2024 as part of the regular compiler update cadence. In the meantime I will leave this issue here as a reminder.
