Description
When assembly code is passed to the Flang driver, it emits the following message:
```console
$ flang test.s
flang-23: error: flang does not support assembly files as input: 'test.s'
```
Other Fortran compilers (gfortran, ifx) support assembly inputs, so Flang should do as well.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reproducing the reported behavior with the Flang driver command `flang test.s` and trace where assembly-file inputs are rejected. Compare that behavior with the stated gfortran and ifx behavior, then verify that Flang accepts assembly input without emitting the reported error.
