Passing along charge and multiplicity for fragments so we can do #57

open-shell. Although optking doesn't do the electronic structure and so doesn't use multiplicity etc., it sends such information through qcengine to external programs. There is some ambiguity as to whether a user would typically want us to use those fragments in our representation and optimization. In special cases of gradient calculations involving multiple, unique fragments, it might be easier to use the OptHelper class and feed gradients in that way.
