Revert "Halve king eval margin"

This reverts commit 4b3a0fdab03a7529ede42891963d3036712a0bd5.

As Gary says: " It failed when I tried it at long TC previously, and only
barely passed this time.  Some anecdotal evidence is that it hurts vs other
engines as well (the Lightspeed rating list showed a 16 elo drop from previous
best version - still +- 5 error bars on both, but that's still significant)"

I also agree that if we have some doubts (like in this case) it is better to
be safe than sorry.
