[phenixbb] unwanted disulfids and geometry restraints

In the short term, just lower the distance cutoff - I suspect 2.0
would be a good starting point as long as the initial model is fairly
accurate.  I wouldn't put it all the way at zero (this may have weird
side effects), but any arbitrarily low value will eventually prevent
any disulfides from being formed, if that's what you want.
