[phenixbb] "H" atom refining occupancy with previous altconf residue in sequence

[Pavel Afonine]

Hi Alex,

it's a result of inconsistent behavior of phenix.reduce and 
phenix.ready_set (as Nat me pointed out), and so I overlooked this 
caveat in handling in phenix.refine. This will be fixed some time in the 
future.

Now that I understand the behavior, I can work with it.  Clearing up the histidines can wait until the end of refinement, after I've worked out the altconfs anyway.
