Subject: Shallow depth pruning on NonPV advanced pawn push

Shallow depth pruning on NonPV advanced pawn push

Usually advanced pawn pushes are not considered in shallow depth pruning
because it is risky to do so with possible promotions near the horizon.
However, this heuristic is not also beneficial on NonPV nodes since we
can afford to take slightly more risk on less important nodes.
