[Wien] ELF calculation

One comment about the "discontinuities" at the RMT.

There is one standard contributor, which is from the APW gradient change.
You can check with the RMTCheck (unsupported addition), and improve upon it
with RKMAX etc.

There is one additional contributor which is (I think) not so widely known.
In many places within Wien2k potential and charge is partitioned between
the part inside the RMT and that outside by integrations with a finite
Fourier expansion. The finite expansion leads to Gibb's oscillations, and
if the RMTs are very close they can overlap and lead to (minor) problems.
