Improved calculations of cohesive energy and elastic constants, no longer limited to cohesive energy under triaxial scaling and elastic constants of cubic lattices.

For compute_cohesive:
You can now zoom in different directions. Usage changed to
compute_cohesive 0.9 1.1 0
Here, 0 represents the x-direction. It can also be in other directions, with 0 to 6 representing the seven directions: x, y, z, xy, yz, xz, and xyz.
The output format remains unchanged.

For compute_elastic:
Removed the restriction of the cubic crystal system.
Now only the applied strain value needs to be specified; no additional crystal system settings are required, for example
compute_elastic 0.001
The final output will appear as shown in the figure below.
