Describe the bug
ddCOSMO energy is not variational. Thus, this also applies to CPCM-X.
This also applies to tblite and its ddcpcm.

To Reproduce
Easy to reproduce using NaCl and water:

2

Na 0 0 0
Cl 0 0 1.5

via xtb nacl.xyz --cosmo water

Output during SCC:

with the final energy:

         :: SCC energy                -4.889476488844 Eh    ::

The final energy is not the lowest energy.
