Allow using Intel SDE for PGO builds.

The software development emulator (SDE) allows to run binaries compiled
for architectures not supported by the actual CPU. This is useful to
do PGO builds for newer architectures. The SDE can currently be obtained from
https://software.intel.com/content/www/us/en/develop/articles/intel-software-development-emulator.html

This patch introduces a new optional makefile argument SDE_PATH.
If not empty it should contain the path to the sde executable

closes https://github.com/official-stockfish/Stockfish/pull/3373

No functional change.
