Increase reductions with thread count

Respin of multi-thread idea that was simplified away recently: basically doing
more reductions with thread count since Lazy SMP naturally widens search. With
drawish book this idea got simplified away but with less drawish book it again
gains elo, maybe trying to reinstall other ideas that were simplified away
previously can be beneficial.
