[MMTK] Nose-Hoover chain thermostat

[Yoonjung Huh]

Yes, I had to modify MMTK/Dynamics.py as well as MMTK/Features.py.   
Thank you, Konrad!
I am defining new variables associated with chain thermostat in Src/ 
MMTK_dynamics.c, just as for NoseThermostat (e.g. PyArrayObject  
ct_coordinates instead of t_coordinates).  For now I would like to  
make the chain thermostat do just the same as NoseThermostat.  After  
I've done that, I hope to modify further (e.g. multiple thermostat  
variables) to have chain thermostat.

I can build and install MMTK with such modifications, but the  
trajectories look different for two thermostats.  I am checking again  
if I have done this "copying" of NoseThermostat correctly.

I am wondering though, if there are better ways to implement chain  
thermostat in MMTK...

Thank you very much!!
