Subject: [PATCH] Adjust best value in main search depending on depth

This patch does similar thing to how it's done for
qsearch - in case of fail high adjust result to
lower value. Difference is that it is done only
for non-pv nodes and it's depth dependent - so
lower depth entries will have bigger adjustment
and higher depth entries will have smaller
adjustment.
