Make IIR less aggressive

This patch is an elo gaining simplification which gains elo at longer time controls.
Patch disallows IIR for cutNodes with existing tt moves as well as makes
IIR for pv nodes less aggressive, basiclally confirming suspected
scaling patterns for this heuristic.

Optimize attackers_to()

- If we only need to know if attackers exist we can skip some
calculations.
- Also calculating slider/magic attackers first is better because the
double lookup is slow due to memory latency.
- I also included a couple of very minor cleanups in search that
probably don't warrant their own PR but I can open separately if
that's better.

Simplify away hint for common parent position at probcut

N.B.: It may be useful to reintroduce it here at probcut if we know that
a node that was cut away previously now has to be explored. Exploring
new ground will deliver no tt-hits so in this case the hint for common
parent position might be useful.
