Estimate the ZPR at the band edges with the generalized Frohlich model

Flow to estimate the zero-point renormalization at the band edges using the generalized Frohlich model. The flow uses DFPT to compute the effective masses at the band edges (automatically detected by performing a NSCF run with a k-path), BECS, eps_inf and phonon frequencies at Gamma
