Retire RootNode template
There is no reason to compile 3 different copies of search(). PV nodes are on
the cold path, and PvNode is a template parameter, so there is no cost in
computing:

const bool RootNode = PvNode && (ss-1)->ply == 0;

And this simplifies code a tiny bit as well.

Speed impact is negligible on my machine (i7-3770k, linux 4.2, gcc 5.2):
