[phenixbb] hydrogen nomenclature

The difference is from PDB v2.3 (and earlier) and v3 naming. In
PHENIX, we are doing our best to accommodate both but moving to v3
exclusively would simplify some things. I'm not sure but I think the
PDB will accept both and saves them internally as v3.

Looking at pdbe.org is not too helpful, since it lists those two hydrogens as HB2 and HB3, but includes alternate "PDB names" of HB1 and HB2. Similar situations pertain for other atoms and other residues.
