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),

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/8037982/118656988-553a1700-b7eb-11eb-82ef-56a11cbebbf2.png

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.

Remove advanced_pawn_push()

Continuation of work by @topologist: we now do futility pruning and movecount
pruning in qsearch() for pawn pushes up to the 7th rank. So the condition to
avoid the pruning is if the move is a promotion or not. This allows to get rid
of the advanced_pawn_push() function in position.h alltogether.

Introduce DistanceFromPV

We introduce a metric for each internal node in search, called DistanceFromPV.
This distance indicated how far the current node is from the principal variation.
We then use this distance to search the nodes which are close to the PV a little
deeper (up to 4 plies deeper than the PV): this improves the quality of the search
at these nodes and bring better updates for the PV during search.

Introduce ProbCut for check evasions

The idea of this patch can be described as follows: if we are in check
and the transposition table move is a capture that returns a value
far above beta, we can assume that the opponent just blundered a piece
by giving check, and we return the transposition table value. This is
similar to the usual probCut logic for quiet moves, but with a different
threshold.

PV-Nodes likely to fail low

Do not decrease reduction at pv-nodes which are likely to fail low.
The idea of this patch can be described as following: during the search, if a node
on the principal variation was re-searched in non-pv search and this re-search got
a value which was much lower than alpha, then we can assume that this pv-node is
likely to fail low again, and we can reduce more aggressively at this node.

Small code cleanup in LMR
...
In a recent patch we added comparing capture history to a number for LMR of captures.
Calling it via thisThread-> is not needed since capture history was already declared by this time -
so removing makes code slightly shorter and easier to follow.

Do more LMR for captures
...
This patch enables LMR for all captures at allNodes that were not in PV.
Currently we do LMR for all captures at cutNodes so this is an expansion of this logic:
now we do LMR for all captures almost at all non-pv nodes,
excluding only allNodes that were in PV.

Simplify condition for assigning static-eval based bonus
...
for quiet move ordering and simplify bonus formula.
Due to clamping the bonus to relative low values the impact on high
depths is minimal, thus the restriction to low depths seems not
necessary.
Also the condition of movecount in previous node seems to be not
determinant.

Increase reduction in case of stable best move
...
The idea of this patch is pretty simple - we already do more reductions
for non-PV and root nodes in case of stable best move for depth > 10.
This patch makes us do so if root depth if > 10 instead, which
is logical since best move changes (thus instability of it) is
counted at root, so it makes a lot of sense to use depth of the root.
