[phenixbb] Rotamer restraints in phenix.real_space_refine

Hi Ashley,

Indeed, apart from strategy defaults, the rotamer fitting algorithm itself
was changed between 1.13 and 1.14. It is possible it behaves slightly
different (we were hoping for the better behavior in most cases). I'm not
sure that it is possible to get exact 1.13 behavior in 1.14. I would expect
you get small amount of rotamer outliers (<1%). Otherwise we probably
should investigate. Sometimes inclusion of hydrogen atoms could help get a
better refined model.

Best regards,
Oleg Sobolev.
