[cctbxbb] Reducing coordinates to asymmetric unit

Hi Graeme,

I think what you need are the direct space asu mappings tools - see
cctbx/crystal/tst_ext.py or cctbx/regression/tst_direct_space_asu.py if you
want to look at more of the tools that are available there.

If I understand correctly, something along the lines of this should do what
you want:

    asu_mappings = xs.asu_mappings(buffer_thickness=0)
    xs_asu = xs.deep_copy_scatterers()
    frac = xs.unit_cell().fractionalize
    for i, mappings in enumerate(asu_mappings.mappings()):
      xs_asu.scatterers()[i].site = frac(mappings[0].mapped_site())
    for sc in xs_asu.scatterers():
      assert asu_mappings.asu().is_inside(sc.site)

Hope that helps,

Richard
