Flag critical search tree in hash table 

Introducing new concept, saving principal lines into the transposition table
to generate a "critical search tree" which we can reuse later for intelligent
pruning/extension decisions.

For instance in this patch we just reduce reduction for these lines. But a lot
of other ideas are possible.

To go further : tune some parameters, how to add or remove lines from the
critical search tree, how to use these lines in search choices, etc.

STC :
LLR: 2.94 (-2.94,2.94) [0.50,4.50]
Total: 59761 W: 13321 L: 12863 D: 33577 +2.23 ELO
