Enable option to increase hydrogen masses without subtracting from heavy atom #185

Increasing hydrogen masses while removing mass from the parent heavy atom can cause instabilities, so we should offer an alternative (perhaps by default) where we increment the hydrogen masses without reducing the parent atom masses.

Also considering whether this should just be implemented in openmm.app.ForceField directly: https://github.com/openmm/openmm/issues/3435
