Subject: [PATCH] Do lmr for more captures

Based on machinery introduced by vondele. Logic behind patch if relatively simple -
if we reduce less with high hit rate of transposition table somewhat logical is to
reduce more with low hit rate. For example enable all captures for LMR.

Threshold 0.375 is arbitrary and can be tweaked :)
