Remove !extension check #2045

While looking at pruning using see_ge() (which is very valuable)
it became apparent that the !extension test is not adding any
value - simplify it away.

Further work could be to optimize the remaining see_ge() test. The idea of less pruning at higher depths is valuable, but perhaps the test (-PawnValueEg * depth) can be improved.
