The Kohn-Sham orbitals are real in real space; plane-wave components are
not, but \psi(-G)=\psi^*(G) and only half of the plane waves are stored.
The orthonormality relation becomes
2Re\sum_G\psi^*_i(G)\psi_j(G)+\psi_i(G=O)\psi_j(G=0) = \delta_{ij}
where the sum runs over the computed G-space components (except G=0).
