The potentials / forces in the xvg files made by VOTCA already have
the right scales and hence we set the scale to 1.0
These constants are useful sometimes, imagine a case where the
potentials, were iterated at T_1 and you wanted to run a simulation at
T_2 and hence you have to scale all of them with (k_b*T_2)/(k_b*T1).

Yes, just set them to 1.0.
