Extend quiet tt moves at PvNodes

Browse source 
Idea is to extend some quiet ttMoves if a lot of things indicate that
the transposition table move is going to be a good move:

1) move being a killer - so being the best move in nearby node;
2) reply continuation history is really good.

This is basically saying that move is good "in general" in this position,
that it is a good reply to the opponent move and that it was the best in
this position somewhere in search - so extending it makes a lot of sense.
In general in past year we had a lot of extensions of different types,
maybe there is something more in it :)
