Subject: [PATCH] Adjust null move pruning constants

Idea is that division by fraction of 2 is slightly faster than by other numbers so parameters are adjusted in a way that division in null move pruning depth reduction features dividing by 256 instead of dividing by 213.
Other than this patch is almost non-functional - difference starts to exist by depth 133.
