New OT Algorithms

[vweber]

You are using MINIMIZER DIIS and that I havent considered yet. I will
see
if I can have that easily working with the new OT.
Please try with MINIMIZER CG, LINE_SEARCH 2PNT and
PRECONDITIONER FULL_ALL  (or FULL_KINETIC) ... which should work.
Other keywords may not be working with the new OT.
