Simplify the ShelterStrength[] array

Remove the distinction between the king file and the two neighbours
files in the ShelterStrength[] array. Instead we initialize the safety
variable in the evaluate_shelter() function with a -10 penalty if our
king is on a semi-open file (ie. if our king is on a file without a pawn
protection).

Also rename shelter_storm() to evaluate_shelter() while there.

Full credit to @protonspring for the renormalized values of the
ShelterStrength[] array used for the simplification. Thanks!
