Do not use lazy evaluation inside NNUE
This simplification patch implements two changes:
1. it simplifies away the so-called "lazy" path in the NNUE evaluation internals,
where we trusted the psqt head alone to avoid the costly "positional" head in
some cases;
2. it raises a little bit the NNUEThreshold1 in evaluate.cpp (from 682 to 800),
which increases the limit where we switched from NNUE eval to Classical eval.
Both effects increase the number of positional evaluations done by our new net
architecture, but the results of our tests below seem to indicate that the loss
of speed will be compensated by the gain of eval quality.

Sometimes change the (materialist, positional) balance
Our new nets output two values for the side to move in the last layer.
We can interpret the first value as a material evaluation of the
position, and the second one as the dynamic, positional value of the
location of pieces.
This patch changes the balance for the (materialist, positional) parts
of the score from (128, 128) to (121, 135) when the piece material is
equal between the two players, but keeps the standard (128, 128) balance
when one player is at least an exchange up.

Remove Tempo
The Tempo variable was introduced 10 years ago in our search because the
classical evaluation function was antisymmetrical in White and Black by design
to gain speed:
Eval(White to play) = -Eval(Black to play)
Nowadays our neural networks know which side is to play in a position when
they evaluate a position and are trained on real games, so the neural network
encodes the advantage of moving as an output of search. This patch shows that
the Tempo variable is not necessary anymore.

We also tried a match (20000 games) at STC using purely classical, result was neutral:
https://tests.stockfishchess.org/tests/view/
60a4eebcce8ea25a3ef03db5
Note: there are two locations left in search.cpp where we assume antisymmetry
of evaluation (in relation with a speed optimization for null moves in lines
770 and 1439), but as the values are just used for heuristic pruning this
approximation should not hurt too much because the order of magnitude is still
true most of the time.

Simplify usage of LMR for captures
This patch simplifies a lot of "enablers" for LMR when move is a capture or promotion.
After it we will have only 2 conditions - if node is a cutNode
or if it's an allNode that was not in PV,
so all captures or promotions wouldn't go thru LMR at any PVnodes.

Do more continuation history based pruning
This patch increases lmrDepth threshold for continuation history based pruning in search.
This part of code for a long time was known to be really TC sensitive - decreasing
this threshold easily passed lower time controls but failed badly at LTC,
on the other hand it increase was part of a tuning that resulted
in being negative at STC but was +12 elo at 180+1.8.
After recent simplification of special conditions that sometimes
increase it from 4 to 5 it was logical to overall test at longer
time controls if 5 is better than 4 with deeper searches.

The network has been trained (by vondele) using the https://github.com/glinscott/nnue-pytorch/ trainer (started by glinscott),
specifically the branch https://github.com/Sopel97/nnue-pytorch/tree/experiment_56.
The data used are in 64 billion positions (193GB total) generated and scored with the current master net

This network also contains a few architectural changes with respect to the current master:
Size changed from 256x2-32-32-1 to 512x2-16-32-1
~15-20% slower
~2x larger
adds a special path for 16 valued ClippedReLU
fixes affine transform code for 16 inputs/outputs, buy using InputDimensions instead of PaddedInputDimensions
this is safe now because the inputs are processed in groups of 4 in the current affine transform code
The feature set changed from HalfKP to HalfKAv2
Includes information about the kings like HalfKA
Packs king features better, resulting in 8% size reduction compared to HalfKA
The board is flipped for the black's perspective, instead of rotated like in the current master
PSQT values for each feature
the feature transformer now outputs a part that is fowarded directly to the output and allows learning piece values more directly than the previous network architecture. The effect is visible for high imbalance positions, where the current master network outputs evaluations skewed towards zero.
8 PSQT values per feature, chosen based on (popcount(pos.pieces()) - 1) / 4
initialized to classical material values on the start of the training
8 subnetworks (512x2->16->32->1), chosen based on (popcount(pos.pieces()) - 1) / 4
only one subnetwork is evaluated for any position, no or marginal speed loss
A diagram of the network is available: https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/8037982/

E2K: added support for MCST Elbrus 2000 CPU architecture
e2k (Elbrus 2000) - this is a VLIW/EPIC architecture,
the like Intel Itanium (IA-64) architecture.
The architecture has half native / half software support
for most Intel/AMD SIMD (e.g. MMX/SSE/SSE2/SSE3/SSSE3/SSE4.1/SSE4.2/AES/AVX/AVX2 & 3DNow!/SSE4a/XOP/FMA4) via intrinsics.

Exporting the currently loaded network file
This PR adds an ability to export any currently loaded network.
The export_net command now takes an optional filename parameter.
If the loaded net is not the embedded net the filename parameter is required.
Two changes were required to support this:
* the "architecture" string, which is really just a some kind of description in the net, is now saved into netDescription on load and correctly saved on export.
* the AffineTransform scrambles weights for some architectures and sparsifies them, such that retrieving the index is hard. This is solved by having a temporary scrambled<->unscrambled index lookup table when loading the network, and the actual index is saved for each individual weight that makes it to canSaturate16. This increases the size of the canSaturate16 entries by 6 bytes.

Cleanup of likelyFailLow logic
This patch broadens and simplifies definition of PvNode that is likely to fail low.
New definition can be described as following "If node was already researched
at depth >= current depth and failed low there" which is more logical than the
previous version and takes less space + allows to not recompute it every time during move loop.

Add an UCI level command "export_net".
This command writes the embedded net to the file `EvalFileDefaultName`.
If there is no embedded net the command does nothing.
