[Wien] Bug with lapwso_mpi and ifort 18

It seems Intel has been trying to improve its compliance with more recent fortran specs, at the expense of breaking older file IO code that does "undefined" things (such as reading off the end of records, as happens in the lapwso get_nloat code).

For now, I have found two possible workarounds:

1) Using the attached get_nloat.f, which determines nloat from case.in1 in the same method as lapw2. I haven't tested it on very many cases but it solves my problem for my single threaded and MPI test jobs.

2) Compiling all WIEN2k binaries with the ifort flag "-fpscomp ioformat" (some Microsoft fortran studio compatibility flag). The resulting lapw1 produces vector files that are incompatible with binaries compiled without this flag, so this method is probably not of interest for anyone that has been doing calculations for a while. I also haven't tested all of WIEN2k using this flag, so I wouldn't be surprised if it creates more IO bugs elsewhere.

Try to put either a   rewind statement  or a close/open statement before 
that. And of course use always    -assume nobufferedio
Somehow Intel seems to be not able to fix its bugs with file handling which were introduced in 2016/17.

PS: I think the same file is already read previously in this code.

I've inserted a few print statements, and now in a properly working binary built with ifort 15, I get something like (when running with lapwso_mpi lapwso_1.def):

This is very surprising for me, since ifort 18 is otherwise working very well for me with respect to optimization. Lapw1 works fine with -O3 -mavx, for example.
