Supply oriental theme settings
Install creates a new directory .../themes/conf, in which a number of
settings files are places for defining oriental themes. These redefine the
user settings file for each of them to ~/.xboard-xxx-rc, so the settings
cannot leak into the default user settings file, but are nevertheless
persistent on revisiting the theme. XBoard now looks in this directory
for settingsfiles it could otherwise not find, so they can be invoked
with @shogi, @xq, @chu on the XBoard command line.
Filenames starting with ~~ will now be expanded to the directory where
the XBoard data files are installed, so the installed settings files can
easily refer to installed other files (e.g. piece SVGs and textures).
The themes files will also redefine the default engine when they belong
to variants that Fairy-Max does not play.
Some minor settings files for implementing variants that are not standard
(such as mini- and Sho Shogi) are also added in the conf directory.

Allow piece promotion by pieceToChar in all variants
If the pieceToCharTable specifies a piece has a promoted version,
by defining the latter as '+', this will now trigger the promotion
procedure when such a piece moves to touch the zone. Legality testing
will consider such moves legal. The promotion character will be a '+',
in SAN generated as an '=+' suffix (to not confuse with check), while
deferral will have no suffix. Pieces without specified promoted version
do not promote, unless they are Pawns. These then offer choice between
all pieces, as usual.

Beef up variant detection
Testing whether an engine support a variant is now greatly improved.
Names that are substrings of supported variants are no longer recognized,
including base variants the engine only reports with a size-override prefix.
When the size is nonstandard, prefixes are always used on the searched name.
XBoard's New Variant dialog will refuse to close if the size overrides
(even if they specify defaults) do not correspond to a supported variant
of the first engine, but pops up an error box instead. If the problem is
that only one or more non-standard sizes are supported, this box reports
the first of them that is supported.
GenericReadout() had to be fixed for this, as it was not setting options
that it already thought had the correct value, so that on a second try
the size-override controls were effectively ignored.

Implement LionChess
Add legality testing for Lions, so it ca be played with legality testing on.
Cyan markers are now also used in autonomous highlighting, so that double-
moving is triggered: A new move type FirstLeg instructs the marker callback
to use cyan on Lion contact captures. Igui required a special test, to make
XBoard realize the fial square is empty. Implement Lion-capture rules.
Forbid Pawn promotion to Lion: The Lion is skipped during the promotion
sweep (and it was not in the promotion popp anyway). Chu should not suffer
from this, as the piece used as promoted Kylin is not a real Lion (although
it looks like one). King is not considered a protector in Mighty-Lion Chess
This rule was added to allow trading Lions in the late end-game,
to prevent the game from being too drawish.

Fix hover event
HoverEvent was relying on highlight-dragging to detect if the mouse pointer
entered a new square, but on XBoard highlight dragging is sick. Now the
routine remembers the previous mouse position independent of the highlights.
To detect if we are in the starting square, it looks for change of the
from-square, in which case it fakes (first) entry of the current square
(where it saves marker state, so it can be restored after we leave the
square again, in case the engine saw fit to respond to the hover command).
H.G. Muller [Sun, 29 Sep 2013 22:00:43 +0000]
Implement Chu Shogi
Chu Shogi is added as a new variant, usig the extended piece set.
Implement Lion double-moves. Apart from a from- and a to-square, each move
now also has a kill square (all represented by X and Y coordinate). This
is set on receiving a pair of partial moves (and passed around as a global;
sorry about that). MakeMove uses the kill-square to remove an extra piece,
and append it as ";SQUARE" to the long-algebraic move. SendMoveToProgram()
converts this back to a double move of the Alien protocol (two comma-separated
long-algebraic moves, stepping via SQUARE).
For user input, releasing or to-clicking on a cyan square sets the kill-
square, and sends a lift command to prompt the engine for the markers for
the second leg. The to-click of this second leg then determines the to-square.
H.G. Muller [Sun, 29 Sep 2013 21:21:32 +0000]

Allow engine to click squares on behalf of user
A new engine->GUI command 'click SQUARE' is added, which will trigger the
same events in the GUI as when the user clicked the mentioned SQUARE
(up+down). With legality testing off, this allows an engine to implement
one-click moving, in response to a 'lift' command issued by the GUI when
the user clicks the from-square.
A comma suffixed to the square is used to indicate the specified click
should be performed as if the user hat the Ctrl key pressed during it.

Use highlight command to specify move legality
When a highlight command has been sent, LeftClick will only accept
to-square events when they occur on a square that highlight marked

putting any visible marker on it.

The commands 'lift SQ' and 'put SQ' are sent to the engine to indicate

'highlight FEN' to put markers on the board. This implements an externally
driven -showTargetSquares feature. The engine has to enable this by
'feature highight=1' The highlight command is further ignored when
native showTargetSquares is on.
A comma suffix on the square is used to indicate the user kept Ctrl
down during the to-square event reported by the put command.

Fix initial board sizing WB
The initial board size was based on the assumption the board would be 8x8.
This could push auxiliary windows off screen if the board was smaller,
after which EnsureOnScreen would undock them and park them in the upper-
right corner before the board assumed its true size. InitPos() is now called
before the initial sizing to et the board format correctly, InitDrawingSizes()
had to be made resitant to calling before a board size was picked for this
(because InitPos() might call that too).
ActivateTheme() now uses the new board size, not the previous one (as was
indicated by size -2), so that -boardSize specifications inside a theme
will take effect.
Board size petite should not be forbidden for Shogi; all pieces exist there.

A second static click on a selected piece should deselect it, but an attempt

when the second click is part of the only-move double-click for only capture.
