sbraccia 3fd1e87edd Several improvements of the string dynamics.
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..
C.S.

sbraccia 2d0f907723 Fourier String Method Dynamics improved: the number of fourier modes used to represent the path are gradually included (starting from one up to num_of_images-2), so that the overall number of scf loops needed to reach convergence is considerably reduced (of a factor of 2-3).

sbraccia f50f901233 path optimizations: added the possibility to write the prefix.save file (logical varible write_save) relative to each
image (needed for post-processing). C.S.

sbraccia 71f59fbcb2 NEB code reorganization. All the routines involved in "path" optimization
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).
