Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Now that https://github.com/openforcefield/standards/pull/55 is merged, there is an update to the vdW section that (only!) adds LJPME. The toolkit should look to support this.

Describe the solution you'd like

Allow periodic_method="Ewald3D" as a value at the API level, also parse from corresponding OFFXML files.

Describe alternatives you've considered

None

Additional context

I earnestly hope this is a smoother process than https://github.com/openforcefield/openff-toolkit/pull/1679 - and since it requires no changes to defaults nor up-/down-conversions, I expect it will be.
