Adjust return value in qsearch after fail high

Browse source 
Instead of returning strict fail soft fail high return value between value from
search and beta (somewhat by analogy to futility pruning and probcut).

This seems to be somewhat depth sensitive heuristic which performed much worse
at LTC while performing much better at STC if it is more aggressive, passed
version is the least aggressive one.
