Consider more nodes as ttPv nodes.

Remove depth condition in propagation rule for ttPv state from a node to
it childs.

Because this change marks more nodes as ttPv, we have a time sensitive
ttPv reduction rule and the STC snd LTC seems to show bad scaling. So i
have also submitted a VLTC non-regression to check the scaling at higher
time control.

The results gives a little indication that we have perhaps good scaling
with more ttPv nodes so that could be further explored.

Fix undefined behavior

From cppreference: "It is undefined behavior to read from the member of the
union that wasn't most recently written. Many compilers implement, as a
non-standard language extension, the ability to read inactive members of a

Comments Tweak

* Remove from comments, hardcoded exact values for parameters that are subject to tuning.
* Remove the Elo worth, as they are now completely outdated, making them irrelevant and potentially misleading.
* Consolidated scaling-related comments into a single section for clarity. Used asterisks (*) to highlight parameters significantly affected by scaling, given their separation in the code.

It's faster to shrink lookup_indices[] to 8 bit and zero extend to 16 bit using _mm_cvtepu8_epi16() than to read the larger 16 bit version. I suspect that having the constants available at compile time isn't too valuable and can be simplified back to generating at initialization time since this version also almost passed. https://tests.stockfishchess.org/tests/view/67863057460e2910c51de7e0 I will try that as a follow up.
