Resolution limit calculation

Ok, so it looks like there will be a better way of resolution limit calculation in the next (full) release of xia2. This has taken a lot longer than I had anticipated though as the calculations are relatively complicated.

As this is such a major change, the next release will have this as a command line option to switch on (at the moment it also only works with data from Scala as well...) but it will hopefully be worth it.

An interesting side effect of this is that the processing will most likely be much faster than it currently is, since I will ditch the (perhaps unnecessary) reprocessing of the data in Mosflm prior to obtaining a robust resolution limit. Should give an approximately 30% speedup on how things currently work.
