A partial answer would be to fix the problem the CM has with thinking
that a city of size 2 can be in rapture.   A patch to do that is
attached.  Hard-coding '3' is bad, but I'm not sure how better to fix
this.  Add a function in city.[ch] ?

Once we fix that, then we can make the AI always use a celebrate bonus
of +50 or more, and put a weight on luxuries of zero.  That'll make the
AI try hard to celebrate without making it maximize luxuries for their
own sake.

This is only a partial answer because you pretty much need some luxuries
in the tax to celebrate.
