Simplify connected pawn scoring

When scoring the connected pawns, replace the intricate ternary expressions
choosing the coefficient by a simpler addition of boolean conditions:

` value = Connected * (2 + phalanx - opposed) `

This is the map showing the old coefficients and the new ones:

```
phalanx and unopposed:     3x   -> 3x
phalanx and opposed:       1.5x -> 2x
not phalanx and unopposed: 2x   -> 2x
not phalanx and opposed:   1x   -> 1x
```
