No SCF correction read from ORCA logfiles (dispersion, gCP, correlation from coupled cluster methods, etc.) #806

Hi,

It seems to me that cclib can't read dispersion corrections from ORCA logfiles (#660, #664 and #418 are related to this). But this happens in general with any added correction to the SCF energies, such as gCP or correlation energy from CCSD(T) or DLPNO-CCSD(T). The following input, for instance,

➜ h2 git:(master) ✗ cat singlepoint.inp 
! DLPNO-CCSD(T) gCP(HF/TZ) def2-TZVP def2-TZVP/C TightSCF Grid5 NoFinalGrid GridX6 NoFinalGridX
%maxcore 1000

*xyz 0 1
H 0 0 0
H 0 0 1
*

processes the following information:

Compare the value above for the final SCF energy (-1.101546661585 hartree) with the following taken from the logfile (logfile is available here):

Triples Correction (T) ... 0.000000000
Final correlation energy ... -0.039911635
E(CCSD) ... -1.141458346
E(CCSD(T)) ... -1.141458346

...some extra output...

------------------ -----------------
gCP correction 0.000545516
------------------ -----------------

------------------------- --------------------
FINAL SINGLE POINT ENERGY -1.140912829750
------------------------- --------------------

The final single point, in this case, is the sum of SCF energy, final correlation energy and gCP correction (-1.101546661585 + -0.039911635 + 0.000545516 == -1.140912780585), although I'm not sure if the triples correction (T, zero here) is already accounted for in the final correlation energy or not.

I think those values are useful as separate entities as well, not only added to the SCF energies. What do you think?
