Scale contempt factor to zero at endgame

Contempt Factor is more effective at opening/middle game
and seems harmful at endgame phase. See:

http://chessprogramming.wikispaces.com/Contempt+Factor

http://web.archive.org/web/20070707023203/www.brucemo.com/compchess/programming/contempt.htm

Therefore we scale down the contempt factor while going
on with the game so to reach zero at endgame phase.

No functional change.
