Apply multicut pruning more often
This patch increases number of nodes where we produce multicut cutoffs.
The idea is that if our ttMove failed to produce a singular extension but ttValue is greater than beta we can afford to do one more reduced search near beta excluding ttMove to see if it will produce a fail high - and if it does so produce muticut by analogy to existing logic.
