ElbertoOneandJoost VandeVondele 8c3d9d996a Isolated pawns tweak
Give opposed doubled isolated pawns only the Doubled penalty.
The other isolated pawns get the Isolated penalty and the WeakUnopposed penalty.
The popcount condition has been replaced with an opposed check,
which is non-functional, but probably gives a speed-up.

ElbertoOneandJoost VandeVondele 81c58855e4 Remove and replace DoubledIsolated penalty by Doubled
The values for both penalties were very close, so DoubledIsolated can be removed and replaced by Doubled.

A possible follow up would be to tune the hanging bonus and/or try to
simplify the hanging bonus condition.

How to continue from there?

The null move reduction formula in line 769 of search.cpp is quite convoluted
and full of mysterious magic constants at the moment, it would certainly be
nice to simplify it and/or gain more Elo from it:

```
Depth R = (  (823 + 67 * depth / ONE_PLY) / 256
           + std::min(int(eval - beta) / 200, 3)) * ONE_PLY;
```
