Tweaking the futility pruning formula

Huge credit goes also to candirufish,
as the idea was first tried by him, and then tuned by me at multiple phases.

Tweaking the futility pruning formula to be a bit more selective about when pruning is applied.
Adjust the value added to the static eval based on the bestValue relative to ss->staticEval. If bestValue is significantly lower, we add a larger value.

Double weight of pawn history for quiet move ordering.

I measured on my 1000 position bench the average additional added pawn history per depth.
This shows on average negative value with even smaller values with increaing depth.

A linear regression against depth get following formula:

-1960 - 130 * depth

For compensation add this to the used sort limit to maintain roughly the same proportion of sorted quiet moves.

Remarks:
1. using no compensation failed here https://tests.stockfishchess.org/tests/ ... c5735265f0
2. using only the compensation failed at LTC:
