Simplify reductions on singular extension

Browse source 
Current master employs a scheme to adjust reductions on singular
nodes that is somewhat controversial, see
https://github.com/official-stockfish/Stockfish/pull/2167

This patch removes this use of a search result outside of [a,b],
by observing that the main effect of this code is to adjust the
reduction by an average of ~2 (1.7) rather than 1.

Claims the first blue at STC and LTC:

STC:
LLR: 2.96 (-2.94,2.94) [-3.00,1.00]
Total: 30142 W: 6547 L: 6442 D: 17153

LTC:
LLR: 2.96 (-2.94,2.94) [-3.00,1.00]
Total: 45715 W: 7380 L: 7298 D: 31037
