Mariginal improvement of the broyden optimisation algorithm. The reference
output of example17 not yet regenerated.

NEB: removed unused variables; removed allocatable input arrays from input_parameters (to be
consistent with the rest of the input stuff) and replaced by static arrays.
XML: unit 99 used to read/write wfc's replaced by a call to iotk_free_unit.
constraints: the static array "fion" is passed as an array-section to constraint subroutines.
metadyn: fe_step must be defined as an array of "time-steps" (one for each deg-of-freedom).

Added the possibility of doing the string dynamics in real space (the original recipe).
The Fourier representation of the path is switched on by setting the logical input variable "use_fourier".

been fully implemented: it is ~2 times faster than the quick-min optimisation scheme.
It does not make use of the input step ds (the step is automatically upgraded as in the
BFGS method). Still to be tested on difficoult cases (I ask some help from those
who have encountered convergence problems with the previous versions of NEB). C.S.

to be compatible with global filesystems exported via NFS (needed by N.Marzari's group).
NEB and SMD still require a global filesystem.

Added The Broyden acceleration scheme for path optimisations (not yet tested).
Finite temperature string dynamics (langevin dynamics) fully implemented (for the moment only in pwscf).

1) cleanup of the output format (more informative)
2) some cleanup of internal routines
3) added a couple of input variables and changed the default value
of ds from 1.5 to 1.0.
BFGS optimization:
1) implemented a mixed BFGS + Murtag-Sargent update of the inverse
hessian which is generally faster than the pure BFGS
2) trust_radius_max increased to 0.8 bohr
3) some cleanup of internal routines

Added a use_multistep input variable that allows fourier modes to be gradually included.
Added a langevin opt_scheme in which the string performs a langevin dynamics in the path space.
In the langevin scheme a canonical sampling of the initial and final configurations can also be done "on the fly" setting first_last_opt=.TRUE..

are grouped into modules starting with "path_". The output has been slightly
restyled. In the pwscf code (only) has been implemented a version of the string
method (calculation='smd') in which the path is represented in Fourier components
and the optimization procedure is done on these components (still to be
optimized, but working).
