Created by retraining nn-dabb1ed23026.nnue with a dataset composed of:
* The previous best dataset (nn-1ceb1a57d117.nnue dataset)
* Adding de-duplicated T80 data from feb2023 and the last 10 days of jan2023, filtered with v6-dd
Initially trained with the same options as the recent master net (nn-1ceb1a57d117.nnue).
Around epoch 890, training was manually stopped and max epoch increased to 1000.

The new v6-dd filtering reduces duplicate positions by iterating over hourly data files within leela test runs, starting with the most recent, then keeping positions the first time they're seen and ignoring positions that are seen again. This ordering was done with the assumption that position scores seen later in time are generally more accurate than scores seen earlier in the test run. Positions are de-duplicated based on piece orientations, the first token in fen strings.
The binpack minimizer was run with default settings after first merging monthly data into single binpacks.

This idea is a result of my second condition combination tuning for reductions:
https://tests.stockfishchess.org/tests/view/643ed5573806eca398f06d61
There were used two parameters per combination: one for the 'sign' of the first and the second condition in a combination. Values >= 50 indicate using a condition directly and values <= -50 means use the negation of a condition.
Each condition pair (X,Y) had two occurances dependent of the order of the two conditions:
- if X < Y the parameters used for more reduction
- if X > Y the parameters used for less reduction
- if X = Y then only one condition is present and A[X][X][0]/A[X][X][1] stands for using more/less reduction for only this condition.
The parameter pair A[7][2][0] (value = -94.70) and A[7][2][1] (value = 93.60) was one of the strongest signals with values near 100/-100.
Here condition nr. 7 was '(ss+1)->cutoffCnt > 3' and condition nr. 2 'move == ttMove'. For condition nr. 7 the negation is used because A[7][2][0] is negative.
This translates finally to less reduction (because 7 > 2) for tt moves if child cutoffs <= 3.

This patch is a simplification of my recent elo gainer.
Logically the Elo gainer didn't make much sense and this patch simplifies it into smth more logical.
Instead of assigning negative bonuses to all non-first moves that enter PV nodes
we assign positive bonuses in full depth search after LMR only for moves that
will result in a fail high - thus not assigning positive bonuses
for moves that will go to pv search - so doing "almost" the same as we do in master now for them.
Logic differs for some other moves, though, but this removes some lines of code.

No functional change
this makes it easier to compile under MSVC, even though we recommend gcc/clang for production compiles at the moment.
In Win32 API, by default, most null-terminated character strings arguments are of wchar_t (UTF16, formerly UCS16-LE) type, i.e. 2 bytes (at least) per character. So, src/misc.cpp should have proper type. Respectively, for src/syzygy/tbprobe.cpp, in Widows, file paths should be std::wstring rather than std::string. However, this requires a very big number of changes, since the config files are also keeping the 8-bit-per-character std::string strings. Therefore, just one change of using 8-byte-per-character CreateFileA make it compile under MSVC.

The v3 filtering used for data from T77dec 2021 differs from v2 filtering in that:
* To improve binpack compression, positions after ply 28 were skipped during training by setting position scores to VALUE_NONE (32002) instead of removing them entirely
* All early-game positions with ply <= 28 were removed to maximize binpack compression
* Only bestmove captures at d6pv2 search were skipped, not 2nd bestmove captures
* Binpack compression was repaired for the remaining positions by effectively replacing bestmoves with "played moves" to maintain contiguous sequences of positions in the training game data
After improving binpack compression, The T77 dec2021 data size was reduced from 95G to 19G.
The v6 filtering used for data from T80augsepoctT79aprT78aprtosep 2022 differs from v2 in that:
* All positions with only one legal move were removed
* Tighter score differences at d6pv2 search were used to remove more positions with only one good move than before
* d6pv2 search was not used to remove positions where the best 2 moves were captures

This patch simplifies initialization of statScore to "always set it up to 0" instead of setting it up to 0 two plies deeper.
Reason for why it was done in previous way partially was because of LMR usage of previous statScore which was simplified long time ago so it makes sense to make in more simple there.

Patch analyzes field after SEE exchanges concluded with a recapture by
the opponent:
if opponent Queen/Rook/King results under attack after the exchanges, we
consider the move sharp and don't prune it.
Important note:
By accident I forgot to adjust 'occupied' when the king takes part in
the exchanges.
As result of this a move is considered sharp too, when opponent king
apparently can evade check by recapturing.
Surprisingly this seems contribute to patch's strength.
