Microptimize MoveList loop

Add MOVE_NONE at the tail, this allows to loop
across MoveList checking for *it != MOVE_NONE,
and because *it is used imediately after compiler
is able to reuse it.

With this small patch perft speed increased of 3%

And it is also a semplification !

No functional change.
