This PR fixes #410.

I've tested that it works using this xcontrol file for FIRE and this one for L-ANCOPT, with this initial geometry.

Running L-ANCOPT prior to the fix yields this final geometry

After this PR, running the same optimization yields

which has the correct coordinates for the first first two atoms. For FIRE, the projection is only involved when the optimization is preconditioned, which is currently not a setable option. However, I hand-set it to obtain the following pre-PR optimization result

and post-PR,

The important part is that in either cases the pre-PR includes significant displacement of the fixed atoms, due to the lack of Hessian projection. This is now fixed.

This only matters when preconditioning is turned on, which is currently set
explicitly to false, with no user-adjustable settings to turn it on.
