Small optimization in generate_evasions()

Browse source 
Find squares attacked by slider checkers, we will
remove them from king evasions set so to avoid a couple
of cycles in the slow king evasions legality check loop.

Not a biggie, but now generate_evasions() is faster then
generate_non_captures(), before was slower.
