Adjust reductions based on the number of threads

In lazySMP it makes sense to prune a little more, as multiple threads
search wider. We thus increase the prefactor of the reductions slowly
as a function of the threads. The prefactor of the log(threads) term
is a parameter, this pull request uses 1/2 after testing.

Note:
A larger prefactor (1) passed similar tests at STC and LTC (8 threads),
while a very large one (2) passed STC quickly but failed LTC (8 threads).

For the single-threaded case there is no functional change.
