Subject: Rename futilityMargin in kingDanger in EvalInfo
X-Git-Url: https://git.sesse.net/?p=stockfish;a=commitdiff_plain;h=b95b1a970510b74dc567824ff428362e17e39066

Rename futilityMargin in kingDanger in EvalInfo

This is what actually is.

A standard naming convention suggests to name a variable
with someting resembling _what_ the variable is and not
_how_ the variable is used. This normally results
in easier to read code.

No functional change.
