[Pw_forum] extrapolation

[Ilya Ryabinkin]

I did use the options first/second order to test my own code and
noticed substantial decrease in number of SCF iterations when going
from 1st to 2nd. They were not systematic though, but I believe, these
options do make sense to be kept.

Also, my new code make use of oldwfc/old2wfc, so I would appreciate if
you keep the code.

Thanks,
Ilya
