Fix zugzwang pruning issues 

By adding pos.non_pawn_material(pos.side_to_move()) as a precondition in step 13, which is already in use in Futility Pruning (child node) and Null Move Pruning for similar reasons. 

Pawn endgames, especially those with only 1 or 2 pawns, are simply heavily influenced by zugzwang situations. 

Since we are using a bitbase for KPK endgames, I see no reason to accept buggy evals as shown in #760 

Patch looks neutral at STC
