It is slower the previous uglier but faster code.
So completely restore old one for now :-(
Just leave in the rework of status backup/restore in do_move().
We will cherry pick bits of previous work once we are sure
we have fixed the performance regression.

Does not seem to improve anything.
Anyhow idea is nice, maybe we still have to find
correct recipe.

Add infrastructure to threat killer moves as a vector,
this will allow us to easily parametrize the number of
killer moves, instead of hardcode this value to two as is now.
This patch just add the infrastructure, no functional
change.

It seems that "few moves" works because we extend the good
captures at the last ply of PV, so code it directly.
This version seems defenitly stronger then previous one.

We have a regression somewhere here so restart from zero
and proceed one change at a time.
With this modification we have the same strenght of
"Introduce Stockfish" patch that is our strongest to date.

Without this patch MSVC crashes when compiled
in release mode. It survives and works as
expected in debug mode and with gcc and Intel
compilers.
