  ! If the symmetry is not used, then this routine does nothing.
  ! Instead if the symmetry is used, then this routine can 
  ! recompute the symmetries in the ground state, depending on
  ! the following condition:
  ! - if the perturbed Hubbard atom is unique by its type, then
  !   this routine will not recompute the symmetries and use
  !   the original nsym computed by PWscf;
  ! - if the perturbed Hubbard atom has the same type as some 
  !   other atoms in the system, then change the type of the 
  !   perturbed atom in order to make it inequivalent to all 
  !   other atoms (this is needed in order to mimic an isolated
  !   perturbation in a supercell approach).
