[phenixbb] Refinement cycles

[Pavel Afonine]

Hi George,

3 is a compromise between runtime and chances to reach convergence. If 
initial model is good this may be enough, otherwise 5-10 is better. Look 
how R-factors change between macro-cycles and this is the best guide: 
once they reach a plateau that's the point to stop.
