Simplify statscores for captures, setting them to 0
A recent tweak of Vizvezdenec finds substantial elo gain from giving captures a separate statscore, which is used mainly for reductions. The idea is that the old combination of quiet histories was inappropriate and that a value based on the capture history is more suitable. This simplification sets the statscore for captures to 0, suggesting that the elo gain came from rectifying the quiet history/capture mismatch.
