Link to online compiler playground

The Fortran-lang playground (https://github.com/fortran-lang/playground) should be linked from the webpage to make it easier to discover.
Possible options are:
- in the top navigation bar
- in the compiler section next to the supported compilers
Totally agree, we just don't have a public server set up yet. We'll let you know once we have something published.
@awvwgk @ashirrwad @milancurcic @everythingfunctional please feel free suggest the location for link. The above 2 location seemed most apt during our conversation regarding link.
The top navbar or the Learn page seem appropriate to me to link to the playground from. The compilers page less so, at least until we can support more compilers (e.g. ifort, lfortran, flang) in the playground.
Preview of this is available here : https://fortran-lang.github.io/webpage/pr/156 Thanks.
I'm of the opinion the Learn page is the most appropriate place for it, but I'm happy to have it in the Nav bar.
I agree with Brad here, the Learn page will be better suited for directing to the playground. In the navbar the links seems a bit off since it is the only entry which contains Fortran.
An alternative to the full label in the navbar could be an icon, next to the other external links, if we can find a meaningful icon which describes an online compiler playground in a single symbol.
Implemented by #156.
