In this PR, I change the
PeriodicArraytype, such that it can be used on anyAbstractArray.This has the advantage that the user can supply a suitable array for special applications such as MPI parallelization.
One major downside is that now
PeriodicVector{O}is not concrete anymore. One could circumvent this in the code by replacing allPeriodicVector{O}byPeriodicVector{O,A} where {A<:AbstractVector{O}} where {O}and types such asInfiniteMPSto carry the typeinformationA<:AbstractVector{O}as a type parameter.
