Draft: ENH: force-bias Monte Carlo (tfmc algorithm)

TomD requested to merge tomdemeyere/ase:force_bias into master

Checklist

A fully functioning force-bias Monte Carlo code using the method from the work of Bal et al. https://doi.org/10.1063/1.4902136 This was coded with contributions from https://github.com/julianholland

For this purpose, I created a Monte Carlo class in ase.mc which is heavily based on the MolecularDynamics class with some modifications. I will write tests and docs when I have the confirmation that this is of interest for ASE. A few comments:

  • This works with constraints
  • I didn't work on any kind of parallelisation
  • This doesn't break the test suite
