Simplify condition for ProbCut move count pruning

We retire depth-dependence in ProbCut move count pruning,
the move count limit condition is now : "probCutCount < 3"

STC:
LLR: 2.96 (-2.94,2.94) [-3.00,1.00]
Total: 33895 W: 6995 L: 6897 D: 20003

LTC:
LLR: 2.95 (-2.94,2.94) [-3.00,1.00]
Total: 28959 W: 4441 L: 4333 D: 20185

Ideas for future work:

• Is a flat move count limit in ProbCut ideal? Depth dependence, or
  dependence on some other variable, could possibly be reintroduced.

• The move count limit 3 is untuned and a better value may exist.
