[phenixbb] Phenix.refine ignores ligand planarity restraint

If restraint weighting is 1/sigma^2 then setting sigma=0.0 may produce 
some interesting results.  I suspected that setting them to zero might 
turn the restraints off but can't find a reference to support that.

phenix.refine writes a .geo file that lists geometry restraints and 
sorts them within the file by residual (presumably weighted deviation). 
That's the first place I'd go look for outliers resulting from your 
definition of the geometry and compare residuals before/after refinement 
for what terms are being minimized at the expense of others.
