A combo of parameters tweaks

This patch is a combinaison of two recent parameters tweaks which had
failed narrowly (yellow) at long time control:

• improvement in move ordering during search by softening the distinction
  between bad captures and good captures during move generation, leading
  to improved awareness of Stockfish of potential piece sacrifices (idea
  by Rahul Dsilva)
• increase in the weight of pawns in the "initiative" part of the evaluation
  function. With this change Stockfish should have more incentive to exchange
  pawns when losing, and to keep pawns when winning.
