Simplify stalemate detection in qsearch.

Browse Source 
Conditions for no pawn pushes, non-pawn material and last captured piece are already such restrictive that we don't need to artificially set checkers bitboard for legal move generation.
Also moving the check for available pawn pushes at first place, as it should already filter about 90% of cases.

Passed STC and LTC non-regression tests.
