Make the compiler descriptions more objective and less promotional #73

Description

@Beliavsky

Some of the compiler descriptions read like advertising copy, because they were taken from advertising. For example,

"Absoft
Our compilers build faster code more efficiently than ever before."

The "our" should be reworded since the fortran-lang site is not owned by a vendor.

The Lahey description has two exclamation points that don't below in a vendor-neutral site.

"The Cray Compiling Environment (CCE) is the cornerstone innovation of Cray’s adaptive computing paradigm." This is MBA-speak that conveys nothing to me.

In general, vendors will try to summarize the special features of their compilers in a few sentences, and such descriptions can be informative, but I think fortran-lang should tone them down a little.
