Remove ttPv tree shrinking.

Via the ttPv flag an implicit tree of current and former PV nodes is maintained. In addition this tree is grown or shrinked at the leafs dependant on the search results. But now the shrinking step has been removed.

As the frequency of ttPv nodes decreases with depth the shown scaling behavior (STC barely passed but LTC scales well) of the tests was expected.
