Make extensions and futility pruning depend on new seekMate variable This PR simplifies the recent patch https://github.com/official-stockfish/Stockfish/pull/7040, while still allowing Stockfish to consistently pass the CI `go mate` run involving 61 positions with DTM from 1 to 4 plies. Results of a deterministic th1 run covering these 61 positions are as follows. ``` Loaded 61 FENs with 61 bm values, with |bm| (min avg max): 1 2 2.
