So the condition to avoid the pruning is if the move is a promotion or not. This allows to get rid of the advanced_pawn_push() function in position.h alltogether.

It is a function that returns a value equal to square_bb(lsb(bb)), but it uses fewer instruction. It should speed up more on older processors like armv7-a Clang.
