Update to UPF 2.0?

[mcbennet]

Given that QE's UPF format is currently at 2.0, while our ccECP UPFs are in version 1.0 format, it might be a good idea to update them.

On this front (and in the case that we want to do this), QE has a tool upf2upf2.x, that can perform the 1.0->2.0 conversion. I have compiled it and went ahead and converted each of our ccECPs. Before being shared on the website, a few spot checks should probably be performed to check that there were no issues with the conversions.

Also, QE prints the following warning when the tool is used:

Pseudopotential successfully written

*** Please TEST BEFORE USING !!! ***

Attached here are the preliminary conversions:

Do you have any more experiences or updates to share? We should move to 2.0 and not produce any more 1.0 versions.

Unfortunately, there has not yet been any movement (on my side) to verify these conversions.
