[Wannier] How to get ratio of Im/RE in the case of Spin-orbit coupling

Dear Shima:

In general, with spin-orbit coupling, you can't choose Wannier functions to
be real-valued.
Please look at the first paragraph of "II. Review of Basic Theory, E. Local
minima" of the review paper at
https://journals.aps.org/rmp/abstract/10.1103/RevModPhys.84.1419 .

So the code doesn't print the ratio of Im/RE in the spin-orbit case.

Sincerely,

H. Lee
