last moves are qsearch

I guess that Qb8+ Kc3 Bxe4 are qsearch moves

Qd4+ is not extended because movei extend checks only in the first plies of the
qsearch.

There is also a bug in the pv that may sometimes lead to wrong pv in the qsearch
plies but I guess that it is not the case in this line

the knight promotion is extended like all checks but movei agree that the knight
promotion is probably not the best move after more analysis.

The line that was posted simply asks for extensions because there are captures
and checks in it(my extensions is relatively primitive to what I should do and I
should do more extensions and pruning rules but I prefer first to do other
things and to make movei clean from bugs).

Here is analysis that begins with 4...c5
