Extend captures and promotions

This patch introduces extension for captures and promotions. Every capture or
promotion that is not the first move in the list gets extended at PvNodes and
cutNodes. Special thanks to @locutus2 - all my previous attepmts that failed
on this idea were done only for PvNodes - idea to include also cutNodes was
based on his latest passed patch.
