Bonus for restricting opponent's piece moves

STC:
LLR: 2.96 (-2.94,2.94) [0.00,5.00]

Notes:

(1) The bonus value has not been carefully tested, so it may be possible
to find slightly better values.

(2) Plan is to now try adding similar restriction for pawns. I wanted to
include that as part of this pull request, but I was advised to do it as
two separate pull requests. STC is currently running here, but may not add
enough value to pass green.
