008d59512a Simplify collection of bad moves for history updates. 
1. collect only the first 32 moves searched and ignore the rest. So late bad moves get no further negative history updates.
2. collect now for quiet moves also at most 32 bad moves

154b8d3ecb Remove VALUE_KNOWN_WIN. 
After removing classic evaluation VALUE_KNOWN_WIN is not anymore returned explicit evaluation. So remove and replace it with VALUE_TB_WIN_IN_MAX_PLY.

Measurement on my big bench (bench 16 1 16 pos1000.fen) verifies that at least with current net the calculated evaluation lies always in the open interval  (-VALUE_KNOWN_WIN, VALUE_KNOWN_WIN).
So i consider this a non-functional change. But to be safe i tested this also at LTC as requested by Stephane Nicolet.

ef22829616 Do more futility pruning in qsearch 
This patch introduces a third futility pruning heuristic in qsearch. The idea is
that the static exchange evaluation is much worse than the difference between
futility base and alpha. Thus we can assume that the probability of the move
being good enough to beat alpha is low so it can be pruned.

adf29b3fd6 Rename one variable 
To enhance code clarity and prevent potential confusion with the
'r' variable assigned to reduction later in the code, this pull
request renames it to 'reductionScale' when we use the same name
in the reduction() function.

Using distinct variable names for separate functions improves code
readability and maintainability.

440feecb4d Reduce repetitions branches 
Increase reduction on retrying a move we just retreated that falls in a repetition:
if current move can be the same move from previous previous turn then we retreated
that move on the previous turn, this patch increases reduction if retrying that move
results in a repetition.

How to continue from there? Maybe we some variants of this idea could bring Elo too
(only testing the destination square, or triangulations, etc.)

4b2979760f Check clock more often 
This patch changes the frequency with which the time is checked, changing
frequency from every 1024 counted nodes to every 512 counted nodes. The
master value was tuned for the old classical eval, the patch takes the
roughly 2x slowdown in nps with SFNNUEv7 into account. This could reduce
a bit the losses on time on fishtest, but they are probably unrelated.

fa143922ae Fix pruning to (in TB loss) in Null move pruning. 
Current logic can apply Null move pruning
on a dead-lost position returning an unproven loss
(i.e. in TB loss score or mated in losing score) on nonPv nodes.

on a default bench, this can be observed by adding this debugging line:
```
if (nullValue >= beta)
{
    // Do not return unproven mate or TB scores
    nullValue = std::min(nullValue, VALUE_TB_WIN_IN_MAX_PLY-1);
    dbg_hit_on(nullValue <= VALUE_TB_LOSS_IN_MAX_PLY); // Hit #0: Total 73983 Hits 1 Hit Rate (%) 0.00135166
    if (thisThread->nmpMinPly || depth < 14)
        return nullValue;
```

This fixes this very rare issue (happens at ~0.00135166% of the time) by
eliminating the need to try Null Move Pruning with dead-lost positions
and leaving it to be determined by a normal searching flow.

The previous try to fix was not as safe enough because it was capping
the returned value to (out of TB range) thus reviving the dead-lost position
based on an artificial clamp (i.e. the in TB score/mate score can be lost on that nonPv node):
