Introducing FPM as a Guix Package

While working on a project and running simulations on different machines, I found it convenient to have a clean shell environment by using Guix. I also thought that it would be convenient to include the Fortran Package Manager in the manifest file, but I found no package containing the FPM. So I decided to write it myself (with the help of Noè Lopez and Copilot: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/79357849/how-to-package-the-fortran-package-manager-for-gnu-guix )

Here is the result:

I think that the HPC community might be interested in having fpm included in the Guix-HPC channel.
But before contacting the researchers at INRIA (where they manage the guix-hpc channel), I thought it might be good to let the fpm developers here in the forum know about this idea.
