Set write STRU_NOW.cif at each step of relax and cell-relax calculation as default #6588

Description

@ahxbcn

Background

For both relax and cell-relax calculations, when out_stru is set to True, the files $STRU_ION${istep}_D$ and STRU_NOW.cif will be output at each relaxation step. If out_stru remains at its default value of False, these two files will not be generated. However, a STRU.cif file will still be produced, which may mislead users into thinking that STRU.cif contains the geometry of the most recently relaxed structure.

Describe the solution you'd like

Set output STRU_NOW.cif at every relax step as default to help users monitor structure during relax calculation more conveniently
