[phenixbb] editing geometry restraints for C-beta deviation

Hi Wally,

We don't use an explicit C-beta positional restraint in Phenix, so there
isn't any parameter you could change that would change its treatment as an
outlier. Also, the C-beta deviation metric is done independent of geometry
restraints, and is a static evaluation function.

Much like rotamers, having an occasional outlier given very high resolution
data is not a problem, and you can just ignore it if you believe your data
supports the deviated chemistry. Validation metrics only reflect general
guidelines for what is acceptable, and often true outliers can be some of
the most interesting parts of a structure.
