Feature: Modify a profile for a specific dependency

[rouson]

Description

In attempting to build netcdf-interfaces as a dependency of inference-engine, I find that fpm 0.8.1 breaks netcdf-interfaces because the following profiles pass -Werror=implicit-interface to gfortran, whereas fpm 0.7.0 passes -Wimplicit-interface:

• no --profile
• --profile debug
• --profile release

What's the best way to adjust for this change in fpm behavior with little or no change to netcdf-interfaces?

Possible Solution

I'm thinking of submitting a pull request against netcdf-interfaces with

1. An options.rsp file containing fpm options and
2. A modified README.md adding @options to the fpm command in the build instructions.

On a related note, it might be nice to be able to choose a specific --profile for a specific dependency without impacting the --profile for the rest of the project. Are there better approaches?

As of fpm 0.8, implicit typing is disabled by default on all packages.

It can be turned back on in the manifest:
https://fpm.fortran-lang.org/en/spec/manifest.html#fortran-features

though I don't know what's the effect on predefined profiles

@perazz that did the trick. Thanks!
