8f843633db Cleanup and reorder in qsearch 
This patch is a simplification / code normalisation in qsearch.

Adds steps in comments the same way we have in search;

Makes a separate "pruning" stage instead of heuristics randomly being spread over qsearch code;
Reorders pruning heuristics from least taxing ones to more taxing ones;
Removes repeated check for best value not being mated, instead uses 1 check - thus removes some lines of code.
Moves prefetch and move setup after pruning - makes no sense to do them if move will actually get pruned.

8d3457a996 Improve excluded move logic 
PR consists of 2 improvements on nodes with excludeMove:

1. Remove xoring the posKey with make_key(excludedMove)

   Since we never call tte->save anymore with excludedMove,
   the unique left purpose of the xoring was to avoid a TT hit.
   Nevertheless on a normal bench run this produced ~25 false positives
   (key collisions)
   To avoid that we now forbid early TT cutoff's with excludeMove
   Maybe these accesses to TT with xored key caused useless misses
   in the CPU caches (L1, L2 ...)
   Now doing the probe with the same key as the enclosing search does,
   should hit the CPU cache.

2. Don't probe Tablebases with excludedMove.

   This can't be tested on fishtest, but it's obvious that
   tablebases don't deliver any information about suboptimal moves.

Side note:
   Very surprisingly it looks like we cannot use static eval's from
   TT since they slightly differ over time due to changing optimism.
   Attempts to use static eval's from TT did loose about 13 ELO.
   This is something about to investigate.

da8513f0ea Do less SEE pruning in qsearch 
Current master prunes all moves with negative SEE values in qsearch.
This patch sets constant negative threshold thus allowing some moves with negative SEE values to be searched.
Value of threshold is completely arbitrary and can be tweaked - also it as function of depth can be tried.
Original idea by author of Alexandria engine.

d4d1cec296 Remove previousDepth in favor of completedDepth + 2 
Beyond the simplification, this could be considered a bugfix from a certain point of view.
However, the effect is very subtle and essentially impossible for users to notice.
5372f81cc8 added about 2 Elo at LTC, but only for second and later `go` commands; now, with
this patch, the first `go` command will also benefit from that gain. Games under time
controls are unaffected (as per the tests).

d3860f8d5e Rebalance usage of history heuristics in pruning 
This patch has multiple effects:

* history heuristics sum in futility pruning now can't exceed some negative value so futility pruning for moves with negative histories should become slightly less aggressive;

* history heuristics are now used in SEE pruning for quiet moves;

a08b8d4e97 Update UCI_Elo parameterization 
The old parameterization (https://github.com/official-stockfish/Stockfish/pull/2225/files) has now become quite inaccurate.
This updates the formula based on updated results with master. The formula is based on a fit of the Elo results for games
played between master at various skill levels, and various versions of the Stash engine, which have been ranked at CCRL.

Skill 0 .. 19, now covers CCRL Blitz Elo from 1320 to 3190, approximately.
Indeed, the Elo of stash in this analysis is only to within +- 100 Elo of CCRL,
probably because it depends quite a bit on the opponent pool.

To obtain a skill level for a given Elo number, the above data is fit as a 3rd
degree polynomial Skill(Elo). A quick test confirms the correspondence to the above table:

```
Score of master-elo-2721 vs stash-bot-v21.0: 51 - 16 - 19  [0.703] 86
Elo difference: 150.1 +/- 70.2, LOS: 100.0 %, DrawRatio: 22.1 %

9fe9ff0082 Fix stack initialization 
This fixes a bug where on line 278 the Stack::staticEvals are
initialized to 0. However VALUE_NONE is defined to be 32002 so
this is a bug in master. It is probably due to the calculation

39af98c807 Reintroduce doEvenDeeperSearch 
This patch is basically the same as a reverted patch
but now has some guarding against search being stuck - the same
way as we do with double extensions. This should help with
search explosions - albeit slowly but they eventually should be resolved.

9d3fd011f1 Extend all moves at low depth if ttMove is doubly extended 
If ttMove is doubly extended, we allow a depth growth of the remaining moves.
The idea is to get a more realistic score comparison, because of the depth
difference. We take some care to avoid this extension for high depths,
in order to avoid the cost, since the search result is supposed
to be more accurate in this case.

This pull request includes some small cleanups.

f5a31b7e57 Correctly output lowerbound/upperbound in threaded searches 
fixes the lowerbound/upperbound output by taking the alpha,beta bracket
into account also if a bestThread is selected that is different from the master thread.

Instead of keeping track which bounds where used in the specific search,
in this version we simply store the quality (exact, upperbound,
lowerbound) of the score along with the actual score as information on
rootMove.

154e7afed0 Simplify trend and optimism. 
This patch simplifies the formulas used to compute the trend and optimism values before each search iteration.
As a side effect, this removes the parameters which make the relationship between the displayed evaluation value
and the expected game result asymmetric.

I've also provided links to the results of isotonic regression analysis of the relationship between the evaluation and game result (statistical data and a graph) for both tests, which demonstrate that the new version has a more symmetric relationship:

in a slightly different form. Do bigger extension offset in
case of non-pv node having a pv.
