Simplify statscore at captures

Browse source 
Simplify statscores for captures, setting them to 0

A recent tweak of Vizvezdenec finds substantial elo gain from giving
captures a separate statscore, which is used mainly for reductions. The
idea is that the old combination of quiet histories was inappropriate
and that a value based on the capture history is more suitable. This
simplification sets the statscore for captures to 0, suggesting that the
elo gain came from rectifying the quiet history/capture mismatch.
