[phenixbb] refine occupancies for MET/MSE double conformations

I did not know about these features - I just always wanted to do this  
and in a fit of boredom I tried it since RTPHM suggested it would be  
supported.
I must say that it was a pleasant surprise to find crystallographic  
software beating my perverse crystallographic imagination ;-)

We have an 1.6 A dataset with anomalous signal, Se-Met, two different  
metals in it (one is Zn ... I think),
its a complex between two proteins with each protein having good  
reasons for differential Se-Met content.

That would be so exciting if only it was not two E.coli metal binders  
that ^&@$%&^$@!^#$^&co-purified (2-3%)
with our protein of interest - in the SeMet prep. I am taking my  
revenge to them subjecting them to weird refinement.
Acta F here we come! In the meantime we need to solve the real  
structure in a pseudo F-centered SG
(C2221 according to the holy triage that is) with 3.4 A data. Hurrah  
- but its more fun.
