Vizvezdenec 2a7213f720 Change default contempt from 21 to 24 centipawns
To top the rating lists and get more interesting middle play, it
is a good habit to set the default contempt to the highest value
that does not regress against contempt=0. We recently decreased
PawnValueEg it is logical that to raise a little bit the default
higher contempt because of the following internal dependency in
line 334 of search.cpp :

````
int ct = int(Options["Contempt"]) * PawnValueEg / 100; // From centipawns
````

STC: contempt=24 passed non-regression vs contempt=0

LTC: contempt=24 passed non-regression LTC vs contempt=0

On 2018-11-01, we also tested the effects of contempt=21 and contempt=24
against Stockfish 9, and the net result was neutral:
