Compatibility of spin-orbit and LDA+U features

Registered by Javier Junquera

The LDA+U in SIESTA is computed à-la-Dudarev, and it is not compatible with Spin-Orbit. We will implement the Liechtenstein et al. schema [Phys. Rev. B 52, R5467 (1995)] that explicitly includes the U and the J and is rotationally invariant. This new implementation allows the proper computation of the spin-orbit matrix elements following the algorithm proposed by Bousquet and Spaldin [Phys. Rev. B 82, 220402 (2010)].
