[phenixbb] phenix.refine is renaming experimental phase labels and the purpose of _refine_data.mtz?

Phenix doesn't really track column labels internally, or propagate
them - it sees Hendrickson-Lattman coefficients, and automatically
labels them HL*.  The method that handles this isn't even capable of
handling "HLAM" without modifying the code - the "A" will always end
up at the end.  Actually, Phenix doesn't organize data in "columns"
either, so it's pretty detached from MTZ format.

I'm not sure what the distinction between HLA and HLAM is - your
interpretation sounds correct, but that would mean that AutoSol is
writing out the density-modified phases instead of the experimental
phases.  Which doesn't sound right to me; I guess you could use
phaser_1.mtz to be safe.
