Fixes where mdrun could behave incorrectly

Fix incorrect pressure when atoms in CMAP cross a box boundary

The virial calculation and thus the pressure would be incorrect when the second and third atom involved in a CHARMM CMAP correction term would reside in different periodic images. This can happen when a protein is positioned over a box boundary. Note that the energy and forces were correct, but sampling was affected when pressure coupling was applied when a protein crossed a box boundary.
