Tweak kingAttackersCount and KingAttackWeights 

Use the whole kingRing for pawn attackers instead of only the squares directly
around the king. This tends to give quite a lot more kingAttackersCount, so to
compensate and to avoid raising the  king danger too fast we lower the values
in the KingAttackWeights array a little bit.

Credits to user @xoroshiro for the idea of using the kingRing for pawn attackers.

How to continue? It seems that the KingAttackWeights[] array stores values
which are quite Elo-sensitive, yet they have not been tuned with SPSA recently.
There might be easy Elo points to get there.
