Adjust singular LMR for positions seen in PV

This patch continues work on altering search for ttPv nodes, using recent idea to alter it more in not PvNodes. Previous tweak based on this idea adjusted singularBeta - this one adjusts value of singularLMR, so they are both related to singular extension search.
