- make all python potential classes derived from LAMMPSPairPotential
  which contains shared functionality. We currently don't check
  for supported atom types. may want to add that again later.
- keep track of skipped atom types in the C++ code.
- add test against units setting. must set self.units='...' in constructor
- make compute_force method consistent with Pair::single() in LAMMPS and return force/r instead of force.
- rename potentials.py to py_pot.py
- update test runs. some small tweaks.

with the single function, python pair styles can be massively
sped up and made compatible to accelerators, as one can translate
the analytic force and energy functions through LAMMPS into suitable
tables and then simply use the on-the-fly tables for production runs
