Simplify evaluation of blockers_for_king
Currently, we have two evaluation terms which account for pinned pieces.
One is for all pinned pieces in kingDanger computation and another for
just pinned pawns in ThreatByRank. We can increase the relevant bonus
for kingDanger calculation and do away with the ThreatByRank, which
seems to just add more complexity.

At 100k games, I thought it struggles a bit, but some related [0,4]
tests attempting individual tweaks seem to fail:
I tried directly tweaking ThreatByRank:

@Vizveznedec was also recently trying to tweak the same coeffecients
for kingDanger calculation:
