DFT-D3 parameters for PBEsol

[Tobias Kraemer]

Hello Juerg. 


as far as the dftd3.dat file is concerned, this one is left unchanged I 
assume? The parameters can then easily be set with the D3_SCALING keyword.

Also thanks for the clarification with regards to the choice of 
basis/potential. This certainly is helpful to know.
