Subject: [PATCH] Simplify endgame factor for opposite colored bishops

Stockfish is continually improving. Patches that gain elo in the past may
no longer be needed as stockfish improved elsewhere. This patch removes
passed pawns count dependence in opposite colored bishops scale factor.
We used the mean of passed count pawns (~1.4) to compensate, and changed
the base value from 16 to 22.

Passed STC:
LLR: 2.95 (-2.94,2.94) [-3.00,1.00]
Total: 57879 W: 12657 L: 12607 D: 32615

Passed LTC:
LLR: 2.95 (-2.94,2.94) [-3.00,1.00]
Total: 121648 W: 19622 L: 19659 D: 82367
