[phenixbb] feature enhanced maps

Dear Pavel,

I've been using the feature enhanced maps for a 2.1Å dataset, and it really helped for building those tricky loop-regions.
I also experience the waters to stand out clear in this type of map.

And btw., does it make any sense to calculate a FEM based on a composite omit map?

Best rgds.,
Mads

There might be some changes to the algorithm in future (mostly to make it faster, so it can be routinely run after refinement, for example), but I don't think these changes will be major.
