[Wien] TETRA for 2D system

Actually, for a 2D system one should NEVER use TETRA, but always 
TEMP/TEMPS. (For systems with a band gap it does not really matter)

mBJ: You should NOT use normal mBJ for surfaces. mBJ uses an average 
over the unit cell and this is meaningless for a system with vacuum.

Instead you should use the case.grr file for a corresponding bulk 
calculation and remove case.in0_grr from the surface calculation.

PS: In the next release a "local-mBJ" will be available, which can be 
applied also to surfaces.
