[Wien] confused with the scf running

The run*_lapw scripts always use   case.clmsum (and case.struct).

The "saved" density is just a copy of the last case.clmsum file. It is 
not used by any program (except in restore_lapw).

There is also a case.clmsum_old, which is the "backup" density from one 
iteration before the last one.
