Rebalance usage of history heuristics in pruning

This patch has multiple effects:
* history heuristics sum in futility pruning now can't exceed some negative value so futility pruning for moves with negative histories should become slightly less aggressive;
* history heuristics are now used in SEE pruning for quiet moves;
