Do more reductions for cut nodes without a tt move

Logic is somewhat similar to IIR but in LMR.
Usually things like reducing more in IIR scale badly but this patch does
this in LMR where reducing more for cutNodes is in general good, so I
believe there is no non-linear scaling.

VVLTC parameters tweak

Some notes:
- Both tests were conducted on top of #5848.
- Based on tuning suggestions, the extension for capturing the
previously moved piece was removed/simplified. (Developers can attempt
to reintroduce it post-merge if needed.)
- Initially, bonusScale = std::max(bonusScale, -2); was included but
later removed in the second test upon Viz's request, however, it was
nearly non-functional anyway.

Disallow same option being added twice

Now exits during startup.

```
./stockfish
Stockfish dev-20250202-243c7c6a by the Stockfish developers (see AUTHORS file)
x1,5,0,10,0.5,0.0020
Option: "x1" was already added!
```

i.e. prevents and helps debug this case

```cpp
int x1 = 5;

TUNE(x1);
TUNE(x1);
```

Micro-optimization for SEE: remove a superfluous condition

This condition can never be true, it's superfluous.

It never triggers even with a bench 16 1 20 run.
To met the condition it would imply that the previous recapture was done
by a higher rated piece than a Queen.
This is only the case when the King recaptures and that's already
handled in line 1161: (return (attackers & ~pieces(stm)) ? res ^ 1).

Add cursed win checks to CI matetrack tests

This PR adds a run for the `matecheck.py` script from the matetrack repo
with the option `--syzygy50MoveRule false`.

The new tests guard against a re-introduction of the bugs recently fixed
by https://github.com/official-stockfish/Stockfish/pull/5814.

Make pruning at ttpv nodes more aggressive

Continuation of work done by @FauziAkram and @Viren6 They had a series
of patches that decrease pruning for ttPv nodes - and it passed as a
gainer at lower time controls while revert passed as a gainer at higher
time controls.
So it's a logical continuation of this work that increases pruning for
ttPv nodes in hopes of scaling to longer TCs.
