Add generation of castling checks
...
When we generate checks one case is missing: generation
of castling moves that give check to the opponent king.
This is a very rare case but anyway it is a case
and we can do this without slowing down the common
case of no castling checks.
So this is the patch.

Fix a bug in generate_evasions()
...
Introduced in the patch "movegen: prefer (*mlist++) to mlist[n++]"
This was nasty because due to a mismerge the repo in one PC had the bug,
but the testing one did not, so I had non reproducible results according
to which machine I used for testing.
This hopefully closes a more then one week regression that made me go crazy!
It was found by accident comparing, for other reasons, the sources of the
two PC's.
