 * Here, we have to distinguish between single, double or triple bonds as stated by \a BondDegree, that each demand
 * a different scheme when adding \a *replacement atom for the given one.
 * -# Single Bond: Simply add new atom with bond distance rescaled to typical hydrogen one
 * -# Double Bond: Here, we need the **BondList of the \a *origin atom, by scanning for the other bonds instead of
 *    *Bond, we use the through these connected atoms to determine the plane they lie in, vector::MakeNormalvector().
 *    The orthonormal vector to this plane along with the vector in *Bond direction determines the plane the two
 *    replacing hydrogens shall lie in. Now, all remains to do is take the usual hydrogen double bond angle for the
 *    element of *origin and form the sin/cos admixture of both plane vectors for the new coordinates of the two
 *    hydrogens forming this angle with *origin.
 * -# Triple Bond: The idea is to set up a tetraoid (C1-H1-H2-H3) (however the lengths \f$b\f$ of the sides of the base
 *    triangle formed by the to be added hydrogens are not equal to the typical bond distance \f$l\f$ but have to be
 *    determined from the typical angle \f$\alpha\f$ for a hydrogen triple connected to the element of *origin):
 *    We have the height \f$d\f$ as the vector in *Bond direction (from triangle C1-H1-H2).
 *    \f[ h = l \cdot \cos{\left (\frac{\alpha}{2} \right )} \qquad b = 2l \cdot \sin{\left (\frac{\alpha}{2} \right)} \quad \rightarrow \quad d = l \cdot \sqrt{\cos^2{\left (\frac{\alpha}{2} \right)}-\frac{1}{3}\cdot\sin^2{\left (\frac{\alpha}{2}\right )}}
 *    \f]
 *    vector::GetNormalvector() creates one orthonormal vector from this *Bond vector and vector::MakeNormalvector creates
 *    the third one from the former two vectors. The latter ones form the plane of the base triangle mentioned above.
 *    The lengths for these are \f$f\f$ and \f$g\f$ (from triangle H1-H2-(center of H1-H2-H3)) with knowledge that
 *    the median lines in an isosceles triangle meet in the center point with a ratio 2:1.
 *    \f[ f = \frac{b}{\sqrt{3}} \qquad g = \frac{b}{2}
 *    \f]
 *    as the coordination of all three atoms in the coordinate system of these three vectors:
 *    \f$\pmatrix{d & f & 0}\f$, \f$\pmatrix{d & -0.5 \cdot f & g}\f$ and \f$\pmatrix{d & -0.5 \cdot f & -g}\f$.
 *
 * \param *out output stream for debugging
 * \param *Bond pointer to bond between \a *origin and \a *replacement
 * \param *TopOrigin son of \a *origin of upper level molecule (the atom added to this molecule as a copy of \a *origin)
 * \param *origin pointer to atom which acts as the origin for scaling the added hydrogen to correct bond length
 * \param *replacement pointer to the atom which shall be copied as a hydrogen atom in this molecule
