Title: More futility pruning when coming from null move

The idea for this came from the regression hunting. Since disabling futility pruning after null move seemed to impact the ELO, I wondered about making futility pruning more aggressive. Seems to work well!

After nearly 8k games:
ELO: 9.84 +- 99%: 10.07 95%: 7.65
LOS: 100.00%
Wins: 1315 Losses: 1090 Draws: 5545
