Use classical eval for Bishop vs Pawns

Browse Source 
NNUE evaluation is incapable of recognizing trivially drawn bishop endgames
(the wrong-colored rook pawn), which are in fact ubiquitous and stock standard
in chess analysis. Switching off NNUE evaluation in KBPs vs KPs endgames is
a measure that stops Stockfish from trading down to a drawn version of these
endings when we presumably have advantage. The patch is able to edge over master
in endgame positions.

Patch tested for Elo gain with the "endgame.epd" book, and verified for
non-regression with our usual book (see the pull request for details).
