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

[Pavel Afonine]

The current behavior is intended one and asserted by regression test:

phenix_regression/refinement/tst_refinement_occ_of_h3.py

If you remove hydrogens from that PDB file, and then add them back, 
Reduce will add H on MET30, and its occupancy will be inherited from 
atoms in MET29 that define its position.

phenix.refine in turn will pick up that for occupancy refinement 
according it its default behavior.

Jeff: the occupancy of H in MET30 does match the occupancy of relevant 
atoms in preceding residue (MET29). I verified this with this specific 
example, and also this is asserted in the above test.

We discussed this multiple times in the past and current behavior is the 
consensus one. If this is not what we want then we need to fix Reduce.
