This patch introduces three additional correction histories, namely,
Major Piece Correction History, Minor Piece Correction History, and
Non-Pawn Correction History.
Introduced by @mcthouacbb in Sirius
(https://github.com/mcthouacbb/Sirius) chess engine. The Major Piece
Correction History is indexed by side-to-move and the Zobrist key
representing the position of the King, Rook, and Queen of both sides.
Likewise, the Minor Piece Correction History is indexed by side-to-move
and the Zobrist key representing the position of the King, Knight, and
Bishop of both sides.

Introduced by @zzzzz151 in Starzix (https://github.com/zzzzz151/Starzix)
chess engine. Non-Pawn correction history consists of side-to-move, side
of Zobrist key, and a Zobrist key representing of the position of all
non-pawn pieces of **one side**. The non-pawn correction values for both
key sides are then summed.
Also See:
34911772f133e0df8dd2
The weights on the final correction value of the above correction
histories, as well as existing correction histories, are then tuned in
two separate SPSA sessions, totaling 75k games.

Since an unknown amount of time the instrumented CI has been a bit
flawed, explained here
https://github.com/official-stockfish/Stockfish/issues/5185. It also
experiences random timeout issues where restarting the workflow fixes it
or very long run times (more than other workflows) and is not very
portable.
The intention of this commit is to port the instrumented.sh to python
which also works on other operating systems. It should also be
relatively easy for beginners to add new tests to assert stockfish's
output and to run it.
From the source directory the following command can be run.
`python3 ../tests/instrumented.py --none ./stockfish`
A test runner will go over the test suites and run the test cases.
All instrumented tests should have been ported over.
The required python version for this is should be 3.7 (untested) + the
requests package, testing.py includes some infrastructure code which
setups the testing.

currently extensions can cause depth to exceed MAX_PLY.
This triggers the assert near line 542 in search when running a binary compiled with `debug=yes` on a testcase like:
```

It makes more sense to not (potentially) change the developers alsr entropy setting to make the test run through. This should be an active choice even if the test then might fail locally for them.

the recent refactoring has shown some limitations of our testing, hence we add a couple of more tests including:
* expected mate score
* expected mated score
* expected in TB win score
* expected in TB loss score

a) Add further tests to CI to cover most features. This uncovered a potential race
in case setoption was sent between two searches. As the UCI protocol requires
this sent to be went the engine is not searching, setoption now ensures that
this is the case.
b) Remove some unused code

use a fixed compiler on Linux and Windows (right now gcc 11).
build avxvnni on Windows (Linux needs updated core utils)

reuse the WINE_PATH for SDE as we do for QEMU
use WINE_PATH variable also for the signature

Joint work gvreuls / vondele
* Download the default NNUE net in AppVeyor
* Download net in travis CI `make net`
* Adjust tests to cover more archs, speedup instrumented testing
* Introduce 'mixed' bench as default, with further options:
classical, NNUE, mixed.
mixed (default) and NNUE require the default net to be present,
which can be obtained with
```
make net
```
Further examples (first is equivalent to `./stockfish bench`):
```
./stockfish bench 16 1 13 default depth mixed
./stockfish bench 16 1 13 default depth classical
./stockfish bench 16 1 13 default depth NNUE
```
The net is now downloaded automatically if needed for `profile-build`
(usual `build` works fine without net present)
PGO gives a nice speedup on fishtest:

Introducing new concept, saving principal lines into the transposition table
to generate a "critical search tree" which we can reuse later for intelligent
pruning/extension decisions.
For instance in this patch we just reduce reduction for these lines. But a lot
of other ideas are possible.
To go further : tune some parameters, how to add or remove lines from the
critical search tree, how to use these lines in search choices, etc.

Extends valgrind/sanitizer testing to cover syzygy code.
The script downloads 4 man syzygy as needed. The time needed for the
additional testing is small (in fact hard to see a difference compared
to the large fluctuations in testing time in travis).
Possible follow-ups:
* include more TB sensitive positions in bench.
* include the test script of recent commit "Refactor tbprobe.cpp".
* verify unchanged bench with TB (with a long run).
* make the TB part of the continuation integration tests optional.

Rewrite perft to be placed naturally inside new
bench code. In particular we don't have special
custom code to run perft anymore but perft is
just a new parameter of 'go' command.
So user API is now changed, old style command:
$perft 5
becomes
$go perft 4
No functional change.
Avoid a couple of redundant rebuilds and compile
with 2 threads since travis gives 2vCPUs.
Also enable -O1 optimization for valgrind and
sanitizers, it should be safe withouth false
positives and it gives a very sensible speed
up, especially with valgrind.
The spee dup allow us to increase testing to
depth 10, useful for thread sanitizer.

in the last month a couple of timeouts have been seen in travis valgrind testing, leading to undesired false positives. The precise cause of this is unclear: a normal valgrind instrumented run is about 6min, the timeout is 10min. Either there are rare hangs (not reproduced locally), or maybe the actual runtime fluctuates on the travis infrastructure (which uses VMs on AWS as far as I know). This patch leads to roughly a 2x speedup of the instrumented testing by reducing the depth from 10 to 9. If timeouts persist, it needs further analysis.
No functional change.
Closes#1171
the nodes, tbHits, rootDepth and lastInfoTime variables are read by multiple threads, but not declared atomic, leading to data races as found by -fsanitize=thread. This patch fixes this issue. It is based on top of the CI-threading branch (PR #1129), and should fix the corresponding CI error messages.
The patch passed an STC check for no regression:

Total: 169597 W: 29938 L: 30066 D: 109593
Whereas rootDepth and lastInfoTime are not performance critical, nodes and tbHits are. Indeed, an earlier version using relaxed atomic updates on the latter two variables failed STC testing (http://tests.stockfishchess.org/tests/view/592001700ebc59035df34924), which can be shown to be due to x86-32 (http://tests.stockfishchess.org/tests/view/592330ac0ebc59035df34a89). Indeed, the latter have no instruction to atomically update a 64bit variable. The proposed solution thus uses a variable in Position that is accessed only by one thread, which is copied every few thousand nodes to the shared variable in Thread.
No functional change.

Perform more complex verification and validation.
- signature.sh : extract and optionally compare Bench/Signature/Node count.
- perft.sh : verify perft counts for a number of positions.
- instrumented.sh : run a few commands or uci sequences through valgrind/sanitizer instrumented binaries.
- reprosearch.sh : verify reproducibility of search.
These script can be used from directly from the command line in the src directory.
Update travis script to use these shell scripts.
