Instead of loop across all legal moves to find a mate
loop across possible check moves only.
This reduces more then 10 times the number of moves to
check for a possible mate.
Also rename generate_checks() in generate_non_capture_checks()
so to better clarify what the function does.
No functional change.

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.
