Revert 5 recent patches

Revert 5 patches which were merged, but lead to a regression test that showed negative Elo gain:

http://tests.stockfishchess.org/tests/view/5e307251ab2d69d58394fdb9

This was discussed in depth in:

https://github.com/official-stockfish/Stockfish/issues/2531

Each patch was removed and tested as a simplification, full list below, and the whole combo as well.

After the revert the regression test showed a neutral result:

http://tests.stockfishchess.org/tests/view/5e334851708b13464ceea33c

As a result of this experience, the SPRT testing bounds will be made more strict.
