Addition of new material: doped Lanthanium Bromide

I can now confirm that Lanthanum will be available in the low-energy neutron
cross section library which will be distributed with the next FLUKA release.
Once the release has taken place, follow Paola's instructions about how to
define the Lanthanum Bromide compound.
