[Wien] 'symmetry' in 12.1

A nice example of rounding errors in positions introduced by sgroup.

I will add patchsymm to init_lapw  and give additional hints about possible rounding errors of positions.
However, patchsymm can only be active if you accept the struct-file from sgroup (because it needs the symmetry operations).
