Thanks to @snicolet for mentioning that Komodo does this a lot and
Stockfish doesn't, which gave me the idea for this patch, and to
@noobpwnftw for providing cores to fishtest which allowed very quick
testing.

Future work: perhaps this can be refined somehow to encourage this
on other files, my attempts have failed.

Closes https://github.com/official-stockfish/Stockfish/pull/2322
