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
Implements a class loader which takes a fully qualified Python class
name, loads the module and creates an object instance.
To add flexibility, the current working directory and the
directory specified by the LAMMPS_POTENTIALS environment variable are
added to the module search path.
