Fortran: Interpret percent sign as operator

Jakub Benda requested to merge albandil/syntax-highlighting:fortran-percent-operator into master

Fortran uses the "%" sign to access member functions and attributes of custom types, see for example: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8100131/what-does-mean-do-in-fortran

Unlike the more common "." (dot) symbol used by other languages, a percent sign results in significant visual clutter, particularly in longer chains of member access, unless it is properly highlighted.

For better readability it is now colored as an operator.
