Use single param for Outpost and ReachableOutpost.
In November 2019, as a result of the simplification of rank-based outposts by 37698b0, separate bonuses were introduced for outposts that are currently occupied and outposts that are reachable on the next move. However, the values of these two bonuses are quite similar, and they have remained that way for three months of development. It appears that we can safely retire the separate ReachableOutpost parameter and use the same Outpost bonus in both cases, restoring the basic principles of Stockfish outpost evaluation to their pre-November state, while also reducing the size of the parameter space.
