Preparation commit for the upcoming Stockfish 10 version, giving a chance to catch last minute feature bugs and evaluation regression during the one-week code freeze period. Also changing the copyright dates to include 2019.

Some warnings after a run of:
$ clang-tidy-3.8 -checks='modernize-*' *.cpp syzygy/*.cpp -header-filter=.* -- -std=c++11
I have not fixed all suggestions, for instance I still prefer
to declare the type instead of a spread use of 'auto'. I also
perfer good old 'typedef' to the new 'using' form.
I have not fixed some warnings in the last functions of
syzygy code because those are still the original functions
and need to be completely rewritten anyhow.
Thanks to erbsenzaehler for the original idea.
No functional change.
Warning is C4512 (assignment operator could not be generated)
Now, apart the foreign syzygy code, everything compiles
without warnings at warning level 4.
No functional change.
Coverity scan warns about uninitialized 'sf' argument when
calling probe(). Actually it is a false positive because
argument is passed by reference and assigned inside
probe(). Nevertheless it is a hint that fucntion signature
is a bit tricky, so rewrite it in a more conventional way,
assigning 'sf' from probe() return value.

Import C++11 branch from:
https://github.com/mcostalba/Stockfish/tree/c++11
The version imported is teh last one as of today:
6670e93e50
Branch is fully equivalent with master but syzygy
tablebases that are missing (but will be added with
next commit).

It is up to material (and pawn) table look up
code to know where the per-thread tables are,
so change API to reflect this.
Also some comment fixing while there
No functional change.
Retire KmmKm evaluation function. Instead give a very drawish
scale factor when the material advantage is small and not much
material remains.
Retire NoPawnsSF array. Pawnless endgames without a bishop will
now be scored higher. Pawnless endgames with a bishop pair will
be scored lower. The effect of this is hopefully small.
Consistent results both at short TC (fixed games):
ELO: -0.00 +-2.1 (95%) LOS: 50.0%
Total: 40000 W: 7405 L: 7405 D: 25190
And long TC (fixed games):
ELO: 0.77 +-1.9 (95%) LOS: 78.7%
Total: 39690 W: 6179 L: 6091 D: 27420

As pointed out by Joona, Lucas and otehr people in
the forum, this endgame is not a known, there are many
positions where it takes more than 50 moves to claim the
win and becasue exact rules is not possible better to
retire and allow the search to workout the endgame for us.

Dumb down a bit the code and trade some possible
speed (but this is far from hot path anyhow) for
some added readability for the layman.
No functional change.
The case of two lone kings on the board is already considered
by the "No pawns" scaling factor rules in material.cpp as is
KBK and KNK.
Moreover we had a small leak in endgames map because for
KK endgame it happens white and black material keys are the
same (both equal to zero), so when adding the black endgame in
Endgames::add() we were overwriting the already exsisting
white one, leading to a memory leak found by Valgrind.
So remove the endgames althogheter and rely on scaling
to correctly set the endgames value to a draw.
No functional change.
The endgame king + minor vs king is erroneusly
detected as king + minor vs king + minor
Here the fix is to detect king + minor earlier,
in particular to add these trivial cases to
endgame evaluation functions.

And #ifdef instead of #if defined
This is more standard form (see for example iostream file).

The 2 overload functions map() accept a pointer to
EndgameBase<Value> or a pointer to EndgameBase<ScaleFactor>.
Because Endgame<E> is derived from one of them we can
directly use a pointer to this class to resolve the
overload as is needed in Endgames::add().
Also made class Endgames fully parametrized and no more
hardcoded to the types (Value or ScaleFactor) of endgames
stored.

Allows some code semplification and avoids directly
allocation and managing heap memory.
Also the usual renaming while there.
No functional change and no speed regression.

This leads to a further and unexpected simplification
of this already very size optimized code.

It is more idiomatic for a functor (a function object) as are
the endgames.

It is more natural than using the family subtype and also
use two single maps instead of a std::pair.

Unfortunatly icc does not understand that weakerSide and
strongerSide belongs to the base class :-(
So we have define them in the derived class.
