InChI: recommend standard InChI

Currently we don't specify which InChI flavor should be provided in 6.5.6. inchi

I talked to people from Recon, and it was suggested to suggest/prescribe InChI=1S/...

Same holds for SMILES. We may have intentionally left the particular flavor undefined, but the list is rather long:

Absolute, Canonical, Generic, CXSmiles and either InChILabelling or Universal (the latter for InCHI compatibility) seem to be the most appropriate ones. Any thoughts on that?
