[CP2K-user] Allow the restart file to have the same termination point

[Amami Haruka]

Hi Fabian,
Thanks.
For other people that are interested in achieving this. One would need have 
both STEP and MAX_STEPS 
<https://manual.cp2k.org/cp2k-8_1-branch/CP2K_INPUT/MOTION/MD.html#MAX_STEPS>

Where not stating the step would only allow the simulation to run for 3 
steps.
