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:

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),

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/

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.

Change tempo with time and threads
Introduce variable tempo for nnue depending on logarithm of estimated
strength, where strength is the product of time and number of threads.
The original idea here was that NNUE is best with a slightly different
tempo value to classical, since its style of play is slightly different.
It turns out that the best tempo for NNUE varies with strength of play,
so a formula is used which gives about 19 for STC and 24 for LTC under
current fishtest settings.

Cleanup and simplify NNUE code.
A lot of optimizations happend since the NNUE was introduced
and since then some parts of the code were left unused. This
got to the point where asserts were have to be made just to
let people know that modifying something will not have any
effects or may even break everything due to the assumptions
being made. Removing these parts removes those inexisting
"false dependencies". Additionally:
* append_changed_indices now takes the king pos and stateinfo
explicitly, no more misleading pos parameter
* IndexList is removed in favor of a generic ValueList.
Feature transformer just instantiates the type it needs.
* The update cost and refresh requirement is deferred to the
feature set once again, but now doesn't go through the whole
FeatureSet machinery and just calls HalfKP directly.
* accumulator no longer has a singular dimension.
* The PS constants and the PieceSquareIndex array are made local
to the HalfKP feature set because they are specific to it and
DO differ for other feature sets.
* A few names are changed to more descriptive

Use classical eval for Bishop vs Pawns
NNUE evaluation is incapable of recognizing trivially drawn bishop endgames
(the wrong-colored rook pawn), which are in fact ubiquitous and stock standard
in chess analysis. Switching off NNUE evaluation in KBPs vs KPs endgames is
a measure that stops Stockfish from trading down to a drawn version of these
endings when we presumably have advantage. The patch is able to edge over master
in endgame positions.
Patch tested for Elo gain with the "endgame.epd" book, and verified for
non-regression with our usual book (see the pull request for details).
