[phenixbb] R/R free reported values

Hi Phil,

SHELXL does make no difference between structure types, and it always
reports both values. I ignore the cut-off value, though.

Differences are usually due to solvent models, and the less solvent in
the structure the less differences you'd expect.
In this case, though, I assume a type in the
_pdbx_refine.free_R_factor_no_cutoff rather than anything else.

The structure is from 2005, when much manual work was necessary for
structure deposition.

Best,
Tim
