Introduce futility pruning for captures
...
The idea is somewhat similar to futility pruning for quiet moves -
if a late enough capture doesn't give check and the static eval is
much lower than alpha we can almost safely assume that this capture
wouldn't be a good move.

Apply multicut pruning more often
...
This patch increases number of nodes where we produce multicut cutoffs.
The idea is that if our ttMove failed to produce a singular extension
but ttValue is greater than beta we can afford to do one more reduced search
near beta excluding ttMove to see if it will produce a fail high -
and if it does so produce muticut by analogy to existing logic.

Simplify minPawnDistance
...
This is a functional simplification which fixes an awkward numerical cliff.
With master king_safety, no pawns is scored higher than pawn(s) that is/are far from the king. This may motivate SF to throw away pawns to increase king safety. With this patch, there is a consistent value for minPawnDistance where losing a pawn never increases king safety.

If our ttmove have low enough ttvalue and is deep enough (deeper than our probcut depth) it makes little sense to try probcut moves, since the ttMove already more or less failed to produce one according to transposition table.

The value of our top pawn depends on our ability to advance our bottom
pawn, levering their blocker. Previously, this pawn configuration was
always scored as passer (although a blocked one).
Add requirements for the square s above our (possibly) sacrificed pawn:
- s must not be occupied by them (1).
- If they attack s (2), we must attack s (3).
- If they attack s with a minor (4), we must attack s with a minor (5).
The attack from their blocker is ignored because it is inherent in the
structure; we are ok with sacrificing our bottom pawn.

Extend irreversible moves

if these are ttMoves and played in positions with a high value of the rule50 counter. The unusual extension of 2 is safe in this context as awarding it will reset the rule50 counter, making sure it is awarded very rarely in a search path.
This patch partially addresses https://github.com/official-stockfish/Stockfish/issues/2620 as it should make it less likely to play a move that resets the counter, but that is worse than alternative moves after a slightly deeper search.

Always remember the ttMove

In master, if the received ttMove meets the prescribed conditions in the various MovePicker constructors, it is returned as the first move, otherwise we set it to MOVE_NONE. If set to MOVE_NONE, we no longer track what the ttMove was, and it will might be returned later in a list of generated moves. This may be a waste. With this patch, if the ttMove fails to meet the prescribed conditions, we simply skip the TT stages, but still store the move and make sure it's never returned.

...
Before this commit, some pawns were considered "candidate" passed pawns and given half bonus. After this commit, all of these pawns are scored as passed pawns, and they do not receive less bonus.

remove KNPK endgame code
...
In more than 100k local KNPK games, there is no discernible difference between master and master with this endgame removed: master:42971, patch:42973, draws: 3969. Removal does not seem to regress in normal games.

Increase reduction for captures.
...
The idea behind this patch is that if static eval is really bad so capturing of current piece on spot will still produce a position with an eval much lower than alpha then our best chance is to create some kind of king attack. So captures without check are mostly worse than captures with check and can be reduced more.

removal also doesn't cause a regression with the standard book:

A functional simplification replacing the corresponding arrays. Tested in two variants,
also the simpler one performs well, even though differences to master should be minimal.

Fix TT write in MultiPV case.
...
fixes an error reported earlier as https://github.com/official-stockfish/Stockfish/issues/2404 by @AndyGrant.
MultiPV at root shouldn't write to the TT for later lines, as that is neither the eval nor the bestmove for that position.
Fixing this error doesn't matter for playing games (http://tests.stockfishchess.org/tests/view/5dcdbd810ebc590256324a11 ).
However, it can lead to wrong mate announcements as reported by @uriblass. In particular the following testcase gives
wrong results for the second search, prior to this patch:
```
setoption name MultiPV value 2
position fen 5R2/2kB2p1/p2bR3/8/3p1B2/8/PPP5/2K5 b - - 0 49
go depth 40
position fen 2B2R2/3r2p1/p1kbR3/8/3p1B2/8/PPP5/2K5 b - - 8 48
go depth 40
```
fixes https://github.com/official-stockfish/Stockfish/issues/2561
closes https://github.com/official-stockfish/Stockfish/pull/2562
Only affects MultiPV search.
