Stefan GeschwentnerandJoost VandeVondele 008d59512a Simplify collection of bad moves for history updates. 
1. collect only the first 32 moves searched and ignore the rest. So late bad moves get no further negative history updates.
2. collect now for quiet moves also at most 32 bad moves

Stefan GeschwentnerandJoost VandeVondele 154b8d3ecb Remove VALUE_KNOWN_WIN. 
After removing classic evaluation VALUE_KNOWN_WIN is not anymore returned explicit evaluation. So remove and replace it with VALUE_TB_WIN_IN_MAX_PLY.

Measurement on my big bench (bench 16 1 16 pos1000.fen) verifies that at least with current net the calculated evaluation lies always in the open interval  (-VALUE_KNOWN_WIN, VALUE_KNOWN_WIN).
So i consider this a non-functional change. But to be safe i tested this also at LTC as requested by Stephane Nicolet.

Stefan GeschwentnerandJoost VandeVondele ba06c480a7 Less reduction for tt move. 
This idea is a result of my second condition combination tuning for reductions:
https://tests.stockfishchess.org/tests/view/643ed5573806eca398f06d61

There were used two parameters per combination: one for the 'sign' of the first and the second condition in a combination. Values >= 50 indicate using a condition directly and values <= -50 means use the negation of a condition.

Each condition pair (X,Y) had two occurances dependent of the order of the two conditions:
- if X < Y the parameters used for more reduction
- if X > Y the parameters used for less reduction
- if X = Y then only one condition is present and A[X][X][0]/A[X][X][1] stands for using more/less reduction for only this condition.

The parameter pair A[7][2][0] (value = -94.70) and A[7][2][1] (value = 93.60) was one of the strongest signals with values near 100/-100.
Here condition nr. 7 was '(ss+1)->cutoffCnt > 3' and condition nr. 2 'move == ttMove'. For condition nr. 7 the negation is used because A[7][2][0] is negative.

This translates finally to less reduction (because 7 > 2) for tt moves if child cutoffs <= 3.

Stefan GeschwentnerandJoost VandeVondele ff5a6f8df1 NNUE accumulator update in probcut. 
Call the recently added hint function for NNUE accumulator update after a failed probcut search.
In this case we already searched at least some captures and tt move which, however, is not sufficient for a cutoff.
So it seems we have a greater chance that the full search will also have no cutoff and hence all moves have to be searched.

Stefan GeschwentnerandJoost VandeVondele 675f6a038b Tweak history updates 
In general the history update bonus is slightly decreased by 11% which gives a slower saturation speed.
In addition only for main history the divisor is halfed (used history values are doubled to maintain same maximum)
which have an effect in the opposite direction on saturation speed.

Via the ttPv flag an implicit tree of current and former PV nodes is maintained. In addition this tree is grown or shrinked at the leafs dependant on the search results. But now the shrinking step has been removed.

As the frequency of ttPv nodes decreases with depth the shown scaling behavior (STC barely passed but LTC scales well) of the tests was expected.

Stefan GeschwentnerandStéphane Nicolet 7d44b43b3c Tweak history initialization 
Initialize continuation history with a slighlty negative value -71 instead of zero.

The idea is, because the most history entries will be later negative anyway, to shift
the starting values a little bit in the "correct" direction. Of course the effect of
initialization dimishes with greater depth so I had the apprehension that the LTC test
would be difficult to pass, but it passed.

Stefan GeschwentnerandJoost VandeVondele a0259d8ab9 Tweak initial aspiration window. 
Maintain for each root move an exponential average of the search value with a weight ratio of 2:1 (new value vs old values). Then the average score is used as the center of the initial aspiration window instead of the previous score.

Stats indicate (see PR) that the deviation for previous score is in general greater than using average score, so later seems a better estimation of the next search value. This is probably the reason this patch succeded besides smoothing the sometimes wild swings in search score. An additional observation is that at higher depth previous score is above but average score below zero. So for average score more/less fail/low highs should be occur than previous score.

This decouples also the stat bonus updates from the threshold which creates less dependencies for tuning of stat bonus parameters.

Stefan GeschwentnerandStéphane Nicolet 1725ed39ad Tweak dynamic contempt (the birthday patch) 
Make dynamic contempt weight factor dependent on static contempt so that higher
static contempt implies less dynamic contempt and vice versa. For default contempt
24 this is a non-functional change. But tests with contempt 0 shows an elo gain.
Also today is my birthday so i have already give to myself a gift with this patch :-)!

Further proceedings:

in the past we checked for default contempt that it doesn't regress against
contempt 0. Now that the later is stronger and the former is the same strength
this should be rechecked. Perhaps the default contempt have to be lowered.
It would be interesting to get some idea of the impact of this patch outside
of the 0-24 contempt range.

Remark:
For the case that a static evaluation can be retrieved from the
