headline: Algol68 Now Accepts FLOOR As Synonym for ENTIER
tldr: The Algol68 frontend now recognizes `FLOOR` as an alternative name for the `ENTIER` operator, which rounds a real number towards negative infinity.

The Algol68 language had a built-in operator called ENTIER that produced the greatest integer less than or equal to a real number. This commit adds FLOOR as a synonym. Users who are more familiar with FLOOR can now use it in their Algol68 code without any semantic change.
