Improve play for closed positions
This patch give a small bonus to incite the attacking side to keep more
pawns on the board.
A consequence of this bonus is that Stockfish will tend to play positions
slightly more closed on average than master, especially when it believes
that it has an advantage.
To lower the risk of blockades where Stockfish start shuffling without
progress, we also implement a progressive decrease of the evaluation
value with the 50 moves counter (along with the necessary aging of the
transposition table to reduce the impact of the Graph History Interaction
problem): since the evaluation decreases during shuffling phases, the
engine will tend to examine the consequences of pawn breaks faster during
the search.
