Use node counting to early stop search

This introduces a form of node counting which can
be used to further tweak the usage of our search
time.
The current approach stops the search when almost
all nodes are searched on a single move.

The idea originally came from Koivisto, but the
implemention is a bit different, Koivisto scales
the optimal time by the nodes effort and then
determines if the search should be stopped.
We just scale down the `totalTime` and stop the
search if we exceed it and the effort is large
enough.
