Fix Singular extension condition to handle mate scores

With Eelco's patch "Don't special case for abs(beta) >= VALUE_MATE_IN_MAX_PLY" condition "abs(ttValue) < VALUE_KNOWN_WIN" has been removed from singular extension search, and condition "abs(beta) < VALUE_KNOWN_WIN" was added to the SingularExtensionNode definition.
This might lead to problems, especially in positions, where a mate is due.
For example, this position 5rk1/4K1pp/8/5PPP/8/8/8/1R6 w - - 12 1 triggers an assert.
stockfish: search.cpp:434: Value {anonymous}::search(Position&, Search::Stack*, Value, Value, Depth, bool) [with {anonymous}::NodeType NT = (<unnamed>::NodeType)2u; bool SpNode = false]: Assertion `-VALUE_INFINITE <= alpha && alpha < beta && beta <= VALUE_INFINITE' failed.

So let's re-insert the removed condition.
First spotted by Uri Blass, fix by me.
