Tuned Futility Equation

@Vizvezdenec array suggested that alternate values may be better than current
master (see pull request #2270 ). I tuned some linear equations to more closely
represent his values and it passed. These futility values seem quite sensitive,
so perhaps additional Elo improvements can be found here.

Closes https://github.com/official-stockfish/Stockfish/pull/2272

------------------------------------------
How to continue from there ?

a) we can try a simpler version for the futility margin, this would
   be a simplification :
    margin = 188 * (depth - improving)

b) on the other direction, we can try a complexification by trying
   again to gain Elo with an complete array of futility values.
