Fix a bug in generate_evasions()

Introduced in the patch "movegen: prefer (*mlist++) to mlist[n++]"

This was nasty because due to a mismerge the repo in one PC had the bug,
but the testing one did not, so I had non reproducible results according
to which machine I used for testing.

This hopefully closes a more then one week regression that made me go crazy!

It was found by accident comparing, for other reasons, the sources of the
two PC's.

Refine "few moves" in "last minute surprise"

It seems that "few moves" works because we extend the good
captures at the last ply of PV, so code it directly.

This version seems defenitly stronger then previous one.
