Add log depth as term to reduction factors.

Replace most reduction factors with a linear term of the form X + Y * msb(depth) (using msb(depth) as simple and fast approximation for log(depth))
and tune the weights with following SPSA test: https://tests.stockfishchess.org/tests/view/689903860049e8ccef9d6415 .
Here the tuned values of X[8] and Y[8] were ignored because a simple test with this parameters alone failed badly (https://tests.stockfishchess.org/tests/view/68992b350049e8ccef9d6482 ).

Make Resetting the Aspiration Window after FailLow more aggressive
...
Sets beta=(3alpha+beta)/4 when failLow. Before it was beta=(alpha+beta)/2, even
though in theory we should be getting an upper bound from a failLow, we can’t
trust the score that caused the failLow. Therefore beta=alpha doesn’t work. I
made the buffer between the new beta to the bestValue that caused the failLow
smaller.

Consistent syntax for class members
...
Currently, search.cpp uses three different syntax when accessing class member variables
* thisThread object references. This was a remnant from when pos.this_thread() was necessary for thread-local variable access
* this object references
* implicit member variable access
This PR aims to deprecate thisThread and standardize this syntax to implicit variable access, which is consistent with the rest of SF's codebase.
