Description

We have a small mixture system of water/alkanol using the SD integrator. It runs fine and stable in v. 2018, however it immediately segfaults when trying to restart from .cpt.

Can be reproduced with the attached .tpr:

gmx mdrun -nt 1 -s md.tpr -nsteps 10
gmx mdrun -nt 1 -s md.tpr -cpi

The segv happens in restore_energyhistory_from_state() where the program accesses enerhist->..., however enerhist is a null pointer.

Fix energy history reading

The energy history could be read as a nullptr from a checkpoint file,
leading to issues when trying to restart a simulation. Fixed the logic
issue and added an assertion to catch it in the future.

Also removed redundant comparisons to nullptr.

Separate commit on 2018 as per #2770.
