generate.c: use SeeFastSign instead of full SEE for check-block sign check
Non-losing-block-of-check scoring only ever consumed SEE()'s sign (>= 0 vs < 0), never the magnitude -- exactly the case SeeFastSign() already exists for. Avoids building/sorting both sides' attacker lists and discovering x-rays whenever the defending side has no attacker on the destination square at all. Verified via precommit_check.sh (self-test + DEBUG smoke test) and the three curated ECM suites at sd 10 against head_reference: no regression (ringers 4/11 vs 3/11, confident_quick 73/90 vs 70/90, hard_quick 17/90 vs 18/90, the latter delta within this suite's known noise floor).
