Another attempt at fixing Chess960

Keep the isChess960 flag inside Position so that is
copied with the Position, but esplicitly highlight the
fact that a FEN string has not enough information to detect
Chess960 in general case. To do this add a boolean argument
isChess960 to from_fen() function so to self document this
shortcoming of FEN notation.
