nns=2 for s, nns=3 for p, etc

Note that there are some serious limitations in the current
algorithm for multiple-channel pseudopotentials: all pseudo-orbitals
are required to be nodeless, so you cannot generate a pseudopotential
using the 2s and 3s bound states, for instance: 3s cannot be nodeless.
