[Ifeffit] number of independent points

[Matt Newville]

Hi George.

It should be 2*(Delta k)*(Delta R), without the +2, but as a floating point
number.   That is, it is deliberately conservative.  I believe the subtle
difference you see (that is why the value is 27.06 instead of 27.5) must be
due to rounding of the R values on to a discrete grid.
