TrappedRook value and King positional tables

Small tweak to increase the TrappedRook penalty. Nice idea by Alain Savard!

Comments by Alain Savard:

For the record, the idea was to run an experimental tuning with disabled
castling in the hope to get more hits on the TrappedRook and the king in
the c1- f1-f2-c2 area
http://tests.stockfishchess.org/tests/view/5dec57be51219d7befdc76e1

A first interpretation of that tuning was green STC (0, 4) and yellow LTC (0, 4):

Thank you @xoto for trying this. Indeed, because the tuned Kc2 and Kf2 values
were quite different, it was a good idea to try something more neutral.
