Add compensation factor to adjust extra time according to time control

As stockfish nets and search evolve, the existing time control appears
to give too little time at STC, roughly correct at LTC, and too little
at VLTC+.

This change adds an adjustment to the optExtra calculation. This
adjustment is easy to retune and refine, so it should be easier to keep
up-to-date than the more complex calculations used for optConstant and
optScale.

Remove rootDelta branch

This makes rootDelta logic easier to understand, recalculating the value
where it belongs so removes an unnecessary branch.

From Stefan Pohl:

Wow ! This is not good...
”Latest Website-News (2024/06/02): Testrun of Stockfish 240526 finished: 0 Celo to Stockfish 240519, and sadly a measureable regression in EAS-scoring (nearly -20000 EAS points !)”

Thank you Stefan !
