Allowing singular extension in mate positions

Drop useless condition

abs(ttValue) < VALUE_KNOWN_WIN

And extend singular extension search to cases when ttValue
stores a mate score. This improves mate finding and does
not introduce any regression.

Yery tested this patch against current master on the 6500+
Chest mate suite with 200K fixed nodes:

    shortest mates found: master: 1206 patch:1205
    any mate found: master: 1903 patch: 2003

with 1 sec time:

    shortest mates found: master: 2667 patch: 2628
    any mate found: master: 3585 patch: 3646

Verified for no regression:
