Fix incorrect definition of valence charge and incorrect parsing in XML based pseudopotential files

Micael Oliveira requested to merge hotfix-xml_pseudo_valence_charge into hotfix-8.4

Description

The valence charge of a pseudopotential is allowed to be fractionary. Therefore it must be a real number, not an interger. Furthermore, defining the valence charge as an integer was also making the code parse incorrectly integer charges when exponential notation was used in some xml files.
