Do not modify alpha in split()
When calling split or we immediately return because unable to
find available slaves, or we start searching on _all_ the moves
of the node or until a cut-off occurs, so that when returning
from split we immediately leave the moves loop.
Because of this we don't need to change alpha inside split() and
we can use a signature similar to search() so to better clarify
that split() is actually a search on the remaining node's moves.
No functional change with faked split.
