Small speedup in futility_move_count
...
The speedup is around 0.25% using gcc 11.3.1 (bmi2, nnue bench, depth 16
and 23) while it is neutral using clang (same conditions).
According to `perf` that integer division was one of the most time-consuming
instructions in search (gcc disassembly).

Remove pos.capture_or_promotion()

and comes after a few attempts with elo-gaining bounds, two of which
failed yellow at LTC

Sort captures
...
This patch (partially) sort captures in analogy to quiet moves. All
three movepickers are affected, hence `depth` is added as an argument in
probcut's.

Apply good/bad history reduction also when inCheck
...
Main idea is that, in some cases, 'in check' situations are not so different from 'not in check' ones.
Trying to use piece count in order to select only a few 'in check' situations have failed LTC testing.
It could be interesting to apply one of those ideas in other parts of the search function.
