There should be both Atom.delete_alt_loc() and Residue.delete_alt_loc() and the Residue version would have options for collapsing the lettering and/or changing singleton alt locs into "normal" position information.

Implemented Atom.delete_alt_loc() which does very little consistency checking except for changing the "current" alt loc to something that exists if needed, and Residue.delete_alt_loc() which deletes the alt loc and neighboring connected alt locs, and changes the current alt loc if necessary to the best remaining choice.

As a reminder, the already existing Structure.delete_alt_locs() deletes all non-current alt locs and changes the current alt locs into non-alt locs.
