Change tempo with time and threads

Introduce variable tempo for nnue depending on logarithm of estimated
strength, where strength is the product of time and number of threads.

The original idea here was that NNUE is best with a slightly different
tempo value to classical, since its style of play is slightly different.
It turns out that the best tempo for NNUE varies with strength of play,
so a formula is used which gives about 19 for STC and 24 for LTC under
current fishtest settings.

Simplify pawn moves generator

This patch simplifies QUIET_CHECKS pawn move generator by merging discovery check
move generator with direct check move generator. It also simplifies emptySquares
instantiation. In addition, I added a comment in generate_moves() to clarify Check
branches.

LLR: 2.95 (-2.94,2.94) <-2.50,0.50>
Total: 112648 W: 9952 L: 9945 D: 92751 Elo +0.02
