QuietPick Speed-up

Non-functional speedup: no need to generate, score, or sort quiet moves
if SkipQuiet is true. Thanks to @mstembera for his suggestion.

STC:
LLR: 2.95 (-2.94,2.94) [0.00,4.00]
Total: 27910 W: 6406 L: 6129 D: 15375

Closes https://github.com/official-stockfish/Stockfish/pull/2194

No functional change
