Allow razoring to be performed only at allNodes Idea is pretty similar to what we do in null move pruning. Null move pruning is performed only in cutnodes and is a fail high cutoff. Razoring is a fail low cutoff so it makes sense to perform it only at nodes of the opposite type to cutNode - so allNodes. Margin adjusted to produce roughly the same number of cutoffs.
