Less reduction for tt move.

This idea is a result of my second condition combination tuning for reductions:
https://tests.stockfishchess.org/tests/view/643ed5573806eca398f06d61

There were used two parameters per combination: one for the 'sign' of the first and the second condition in a combination. Values >= 50 indicate using a condition directly and values <= -50 means use the negation of a condition.

Each condition pair (X,Y) had two occurances dependent of the order of the two conditions:
- if X < Y the parameters used for more reduction
- if X > Y the parameters used for less reduction
- if X = Y then only one condition is present and A[X][X][0]/A[X][X][1] stands for using more/less reduction for only this condition.

The parameter pair A[7][2][0] (value = -94.70) and A[7][2][1] (value = 93.60) was one of the strongest signals with values near 100/-100.
Here condition nr. 7 was '(ss+1)->cutoffCnt > 3' and condition nr. 2 'move == ttMove'. For condition nr. 7 the negation is used because A[7][2][0] is negative.

This translates finally to less reduction (because 7 > 2) for tt moves if child cutoffs <= 3.
