Now remove this constraint and use all PV nodes.

This is NOT the exact version that was tested. Beyond the testing, an assignment was removed and a piece changes for consistency. Instead of rewarding ANY square past an opponent pawn as an "outpost," only use squares that are protected by our pawn. I believe this is more consistent with what the chess world calls an "outpost."

Windows x64 for Haswell CPUs Windows x64 for modern computers Windows x64 Windows 32 Linux x64 for Haswell CPUs Linux x64 for modern computers Linux x64	Author: 31m059 Date: Sun Jun 9 14:19:07 2019 +0200 Timestamp: 1560082747 Simplify k-value for passers. Bench: 3854907 (#2182) Stockfish evaluates passed pawns in part based on a variable k, which shapes the passed pawn bonus based on the number of squares between the current square and promotion square that are attacked by enemy pieces, and the number defended by friendly ones. Prior to this commit, we gave a large bonus when all squares between the pawn and the promotion square were defended, and if they were not, a somewhat smaller bonus if at least the pawn's next square was. However, this distinction does not appear to provide any Elo at STC or LTC. Where do we go from here? Many promising Elo-gaining patches were attempted in the past few months to refine passed pawn calculation, by altering the definitions of unsafe and defended squares. Stockfish uses these definitions to choose the value of k, so those tests interact with this PR. Therefore, it may be worthwhile to retest previously promising but not-quite-passing tests in the vicinity of this patch.
