Implement analyze command

To implement infinite analysis, the 'analyze' and 'exit' commands are added.
A search with flag_ponder set is used to do the analysis. When in analyze
mode, such a search will be automatically restarted after receiving a move
or undo command.

+- analyze

+    in the new position. To get out of this mode without side effects,
+    you can use the 'exit' command.
