Use the following information to check whether the Gamma point is
included in the k-mesh or not.
For how k is defined in case.klist_band, refer to the following link and
referenced links therein:

Gamma is a special point and is usually the k-vector (0,0,0) at the
center of the cell [1,2].
In Bilbao Crystallographic Server, Gamma has the label GM and KVEC [3]
can be helpful in that it should give what the special k points are for
each space group.
