[Pw_forum] Calculation of electron-phonon interaction coefficients

[Krishnamohan]

Please see this paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/cond-mat/0504077

It contains a good description of the QE implementation of electron-phonon
calculation from DFPT.

The second step can save a lot of computational time. This method is
described in the paper mentioned above
