Normalize evaluation

Normalizes the internal value as reported by evaluate or search
to the UCI centipawn result used in output. This value is derived from
the win_rate_model() such that Stockfish outputs an advantage of
"100 centipawns" for a position if the engine has a 50% probability to win
from this position in selfplay at fishtest LTC time control.

The reason to introduce this normalization is that our evaluation is, since NNUE,
no longer related to the classical parameter PawnValueEg (=208). This leads to
the current evaluation changing quite a bit from release to release, for example,
the eval needed to have 50% win probability at fishtest LTC (in cp and internal Value):

June 2020 : 113cp (237)
June 2021 : 115cp (240)
April 2022 : 134cp (279)
July 2022 : 167cp (348)

With this patch, a 100cp advantage will have a fixed interpretation,
i.e. a 50% win chance. To keep this value steady, it will be needed to update the win_rate_model()
from time to time, based on fishtest data. This analysis can be performed with
a set of scripts currently available at https://github.com/vondele/WLD_model

Fix tablebase probe for dtz >1000 w/o 50 move rule

For qn4N1/6R1/3K4/8/B2k4/8/8/8 w - - 0 1, white loses with DTZ 1034.
See https://syzygy-tables.info/?fen=qn4N1/6R1/3K4/8/B2k4/8/8/8_w_-_-_0_1

Prior to this fix, due to a too small hard-coded value, Stockfish interpreted this as winning.
The new value picked (1<<18) is large enough to deal with the largest DTZ values that can be stored in the current syzygy format.

================

It seems there are two effects with this patch:

effect A :

If Stockfish is winning at root, we have optimism > 0 for all leaves in
the search tree where Stockfish is to move. There, if (psq - nnue) > 0
(ie if the advantage is more materialistic than positional), then the
product D = optimism * (psq - nnue) will be positive, nnueComplexity will
increase, and the eval will increase from SF point of view.

So the effect A is that if Stockfish is winning at root, she will slightly
favor in the search tree (in other words, search more) the positions where
she can convert her advantage via materialist means.

effect B :

If Stockfish is losing at root, we have optimism > 0 for all leaves in
the search tree where the opponent is to move. There, if (psq - nnue) < 0
(ie if the opponent advantage is more positional than materialistic), then
the product D = optimism * (psq-nnue) will be negative, nnueComplexity will
decrease, and the eval will decrease from the opponent point of view.

So the effect B is that Stockfish will slightly favor in the search tree
(search more) the branches where she can defend by slowly reducing the
opponent positional advantage.
