Blocked by #824 for now (that needed to be fixed in order to test these new features). Once that is merged I'll add some tests if we agree on the implementation. |

Make several changes in the plugins for `ph.x`, `q2r.x` and `matdyn.x` to provide support for electron-phonon calculations: * Adapt the `prepare_for_submission` scripts to allow remote copying of the `elph_dir` for both plugins in case `la2F` is set to true. * Add support to the `MatDynCalculation` plugin for setting `dos` to true, and in this case converting the `kpoints` input to the `nkX` tags instead of providing them as a list. * For `matdyn.x` calculations where `dos` is true, parse the phonon DOS instead of the phonon bands, and provide this as an output. * For the `MatdynCalculation` plugin, providing the `parent_folder` input currently only makes sense for electron-phonon calculations, so a validator is added to check this. The remote copy/symlink list is also overriden by the `elph_dir` to avoid adding it to the default `out` directory of the `NamelistsCalculation`, which is typically no longer required for the `matdyn.x` step.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Note that if the parameters contains an empty dict, this will now fail. Rather initialize empty dict and ensure the INPUT sub dict is there in both bases

There was a problem hiding this comment.
That said, if the user provides an empty Dict node for parameters, they might as well have not provided the input (cleaner provenance). So perhaps we should validate that the INPUT key is in the parameters input instead?

Fixes #825
Make several changes in the plugins for
ph.x,q2r.xandmatdyn.xto providesupport for electron-phonon calculations:
prepare_for_submissionscripts to allow remote copying ofthe
elph_dirfor both plugins in casela2Fis set to true.MatDynCalculationplugin for settingdostotrue, and in this case converting the
kpointsinput to thenkXtags instead of providing them as a list.
matdyn.xcalculations wheredosis true, parse the phonon DOSinstead of the phonon bands, and provide this as an output.
MatdynCalculationplugin, providing theparent_folderinputcurrently only makes sense for electron-phonon calculations, so a
validator is added to check this. The remote copy/symlink list is also
overriden by the
elph_dirto avoid adding it to the defaultoutdirectory of the
NamelistsCalculation, which is typically no longerrequired for the
matdyn.xstep.
