Yes, we have a testcase already.
vla-ptype.exp + vla.f90
This testcase was already passing as gfortran describes a pointer to an 
array as an array +  associated property.
For Ifort, a pointer in the program is still a pointer type in the debug 
info.

The patch only resolves the "associated property" of a pointer.
According to Joel review (some time ago), I only resolve target types of 
pointer when we actually have to (see following patches in this series).
I wanted to keep this patch separate from resolving dynamic target 
types, as this patch is independent from those but not vice verse.
