Subject: [PATCH 1/7] refactor: extract FD Laplacian kernel, fix laplacian_rho
 memory, update SCANL test refs

- Extract duplicated FD Laplacian kernel computation into
  XC_Functional::compute_fd_gg() (xc_functional.h/cpp)
- Replace raw new[]/delete[] with std::vector in laplacian_rho()
- Fix test_xc6.cpp reference values to match current libxc version
- All XC tests pass (6/8, VXC needs MPI runtime)

Subject: [PATCH 4/7] Fix review issues for SCANL vlapl implementation

1. Guard Laplacian computation with need_laplacian flag in cal_gdr_and_lapl
2. Encapsulate vlapl FD kernel processing inside v_xc_meta(), keep 4-tuple API
3. Cache XC_FLAGS_NEEDS_LAPLACIAN as static member, avoid per-call init/finish
4. Remove outdated CC06/CS/BR89/MK00 blocklist entries
5. Add 207_PW_SCANL integration test with reference values

Subject: [PATCH 5/7] Fix linker error: replace ModuleBase::matrix static
 member with double[9]

The static stress_vlapl member used ModuleBase::matrix(3,3), whose
constructor/destructor live in matrix.cpp. Unit test targets that
link xc_functional.cpp but not matrix.cpp failed to link.

Use a plain double[9] array instead, which has no library dependency.
