Adjust time use depending on the current eval.

Values were found using two tunes with the final values taken from the ltc tune after 62k games :
stc - https://tests.stockfishchess.org/tests/view/65fb526b0ec64f0526c50694
ltc - https://tests.stockfishchess.org/tests/view/65fd36e60ec64f0526c5214b

Ideas for future work;

  * tune these values with the other TM adjustments
  * try narrower bands
  * calculate adjustment for exact eval by interpolation
