Revert "Shuffle detection #2064"
It causes a serious regression hanging a simple fixed
depth search. Reproducible with:
position fen q1B5/1P1q4/8/8/8/6R1/8/1K1k4 w - - 0 1
go depth 13
The reason is a search tree explosion due to:
if (... && depth < 3 * ONE_PLY)
extension = ONE_PLY;
This is very dangerous code by itself because triggers **at the leafs**
and in the above position keeps extending endlessly. In normal games
time deadline makes the search to stop sooner or later, but in fixed
seacrch we just hang possibly for a very long time. This is not acceptable
because 'go depth 13' shall not be a surprise for any position.

Extend dangerous passed pawn moves (#2089)
Introduce a new search extension when pushing an advanced passed pawn is
also suggested by the first killer move. There have been previous tests
which have similar ideas, mostly about pawn pushes, but it seems to be
overkill to extend too many moves. My idea is to limit the extension to
when a move happens to be noteworthy in some other way as well, such as
in this case, when it is also a killer move.

Raise kingDanger threshold and adjust constant term #2087
The kingDanger term is intended to give a penalty which increases rapidly in the middlegame but less so in the endgame. To this end, the middlegame component is quadratic, and the endgame component is linear. However, this produces unintended consequences for relatively small values of kingDanger: the endgame penalty will exceed the middlegame penalty. This remains true up to kingDanger = 256 (a S(16, 16) penalty), so some of these inaccurate penalties are actually rather large.
In this patch, we increase the threshold for applying the kingDanger penalty to eliminate some of this unintended behavior. This was very nearly, but not quite, sufficient to pass on its own. The patch was finally successful by integrating a second kingDanger tweak by @Vizvezdenec, increasing the kingDanger constant term slightly and improving both STC and LTC performance.
Where do we go from here? I propose that in the future, any attempts to tune kingDanger coefficients should also consider tuning the kingDanger threshold. The evidence shows clearly that it should not be automatically taken to be zero.
Special thanks to @Vizvezdenec for the kingDanger constant tweak. Thanks also to all the approvers and CPU donors who made this possible!

Shuffle detection #2064
Shuffle detection procedure :
Shuffling positions are detected if
the last 36 moves are reversible (rule50_count() > 36),
the position have been already in the TT,
there is a still a pawn on the board (to avoid special endings like KBN vs K).
The position is then judged as a draw.
An extension is realized if we already made 14 successive reversible moves in PV to accelerate the detection of the eventual draw.
To go further : we can still improve the idea. The length of the tests need a lot of ressources.
the limit of 36 is logic but must be checked again for special zugzwang positions,
this limit can be decreased in special positions,
the limit of 14 moves for extension has not been tuned.

Remove skipQuiets with mate fix. (#2021)
This removes the skipQuiets variable, as was done in an earlier round by
@protonspring, but fixes an oversight which led to wrong mate
announcements. Quiets can only be pruned when there is no mate score, so
set moveCountPruning at the right spot.
tested as a fix at STC:
