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.

Minor code improvements
...
- Remove / add empty lines
- fix the `ttcapture` comment
- remove the `bonus` variable for `ttMoveHistory`
- remove unnecessary parentheses / brackets
- refactor the movepick good quiet stage
- rename `endMoves` to `endCur`, as the previous name suggests that it points to the end of all generated moves, which it does not.

Simplify & improve stalemate detection
...
Change is functional because now we verify for stalemate also on captures and when not giving check.

N.B.: The unique concern I have, is that due changes in future a negative SEE
capture see might be returned in GOOD_CAPTURE stage. In this case the assert in
can_move_king_or_pawn() will trigger since we must guarantee that all moves
(also quiets) are generated in movepicker when calling can_move_king_or_pawn().
