Passed pawns evaluation tweak

Browse source 
Do not penalize if in our adavncing pawn's path there are
non-pawns enemy pieces. Especially if they can be attacked
by us.

Patch is mine, but original idea and also fixing of a first, wrong,
version of the patch is from Eelco de Groot.

Tests with Joona framework seems to confirm patch is good
