Looks like the interface of beginning-of-defun-function has changed --
it now takes an optional arg, and fortran-beginning-of-subprogram didn't
implement that.

I've now fixed that in Emacs 28, and mark-defun now seems to work fine
for me there.  (I don't know Fortran, so my testing is limited, though.)
