Residue name conflict with Amber ions and RNA #337

Description

@chapincavender

Many of the ports of the Amber ion parameters use the residue name "U" for the uranium cation U4+, which conflicts with the residue uracil in RNA force fields. This leads to an error when these force fields are combined.

MWE:

>>> from openmm import app
>>> ff = app.ForceField("amber/RNA.OL3.xml", "amber/ions/ionslm_126_opc.xml")
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/home/ccavende/anaconda3/envs/openff-proteinbenchmark/lib/python3.10/site-packages/openmm/app/forcefield.py", line 214, in __init__

The following files are affected.

$ grep -l 'Residue name="U"' openmmforcefields/ffxml/amber/ions/*.xml

openmmforcefields/ffxml/amber/ions/ionslm_iod_opc3.xml
openmmforcefields/ffxml/amber/ions/ionslm_iod_opc.xml

I suggest changing the residue name for all of these to "U4+" as in openmmforcefields/ffxml/amber/tip3p_standard.xml and in lib/atomic_ions.lib in AmberTools.
