Adds a workaround to enable ChIMES repulsives for non-periodic systems.
The molecule is placed in a large box, whereas the padding is specified from the users' perspective. If it were possible to query the largest occurring ChIMES cutoff via the interface, this parameter would not be necessary, but that does not seem to be implemented at the moment. In the future, it is of course preferable to directly support non-periodic systems in the ChIMES calculator and lsq fitting tool.
@aradi @bhourahine Could you have a quick look at the changes and provide feedback if this workaround is acceptable? In that case I would proceed with documenting and testing it.
