skip setting threatByLesser[KING]

It doesn't make sense for a king to move to a square threatened by a lesser
piece, since that move would be illegal.

prevent unproven mated-in scores in game play

This PR removes the variable threads.abortedSearch introduced in #4990 and
relies on threads.stop and completedDepth instead.

The logic in master is only guaranteed to work in single threaded search. For
multiple threads, as soon as threads.stop is set, some of the threads may abort
their search, and so their mated-in scores are not reliable.

Compared to master, this patch prevents unproven mated-in scores in these
multi-threaded scenarios:

in game play (when time management is used)
when the uci commands quit or stop are received
when maximum depth is reached
for go mate commands

The patch will change the bestmove in those very rare situations where the bug
occurs in master. This is because bestmove is taken from rootMoves[0].pv[0],
which will now no longer contain unproven mated-in PVs. In that sense the patch
is "functional". But of course, it does not change bench.

While at it, we also fix a bug in master that suppressed PV output for inexact
mated-in scores on receiving threads.stop. In cases where uciScore < score with
score not being a proven loss, and where the new bestmove was different from
the last completed iteration, this led to a bestmove output that did not match
the final PV (which was for an exact score).

Fixes #6293.

Fixes #6626.

Update NNUE architecture to SFNNv13 and net nn-5227780996d3.nnue

Since the introduction of Threat Inputs in SFNNv10 and its refinements, the
accumulator/L1 size has significantly decreased. This has made it more
computationally favorable to double the L2 size from 16 to 32.

GCC maps __builtin_prefetch locality=1 to PREFETCHT2 instruction, targeting L2
cache. To make things clear, added template-based approach as suggested by
Disservin.

PREFETCHT2 should be the appropriate choice for the 78 MB threat weight table:
avoids L1d pollution, parks data in L2 where it is promoted to L1d on actual
load.

With 200-500 cycle lead time from make_index, data has time to arrive in L2.

Replace FNV-1a hash by faster and better MurmurHash64A.

Replace FNV-1a hash algorithm by public domain MurmurHash64A, by Austin
Appleby, which is faster and has better hash properties. This is also
the default hash algorithm of GNU C++ Standard Library.

Startup time on a given system (with x86-64-avx2 binaries) reduces from
378ms to 332ms (46ms faster). Hashing of the largest data input (46.1MB)
goes from 44.2ms to 6.2ms, so about 7x faster.

No functional change
