Micro-optimization in evaluate_space()

Since &-ing with SpaceMask restricts the set to the home
half of the board, it is possible to use just one popcount
instead of 2 by shifting "safe" to the other half of the
board. This gives a small speedup especially on systems
where hardware popcount is not available.

Patch kindly sent by Richard Vida.

No functional change.
