Replace distanceFromPv with a better logic

This patch removes the recently introduced distanceFromPv logic, and replaces
it with following logic: if reduction of moves with low movecount is really
negative, we search them deeper than the first move.

Keep more pawns

This patch increases the weight of pawns in the scale factor applied
to the output of the NNUE evaluation. This has the effect that Stockfish
will try a little bit harder to keep more pawns in position where the
engine has the advantage, and exchange more pawns in bad positions.
