Simplify Mated Conditions in Iterative Deepening

Browse Source 
Follow-up to #6785

After completing an iteration, the engine verifies if a "mate in x" condition is met to stop searching. Currently, it checks is_mate() and is_mated() independently using two separate bulky logic branches. However, VALUE_MATE equals 32000, so both a mate (e.g., 31998) and a mated score (e.g., -31998) satisfy VALUE_MATE - std::abs(score) == 2. By utilizing is_mate_or_mated() and applying std::abs(), we mathematically combine these checks into a single concise expression.

Can someone please help run a matetrack with a --mate 100 limit for this?
