DisservinandJoost VandeVondele 1a3a9c9005 simplify upload_binaries ci
Previously the upload step used the os of the artifact to create the upload and
used an extra msys2 step. This is in fact not needed and we can do all required
changes on ubuntu instead.

Syine MinetaandJoost VandeVondele fc54d87301 Revert "Adjustment of the aspiration window after fail high/low."
This reverts commit bfc7000597.

Fixes https://github.com/official-stockfish/Stockfish/issues/6296

After this commit a bug has been reported when the position is close to
mate or being mated. Since no workarounds have been suggested yet, it

Stefan GeschwentnerandJoost VandeVondele bfc7000597 Adjustment of the aspiration window after fail high/low.
For the new bound in the opposite direction of the fail, use a weighted average of alpha, beta and best value +- delta. In the case of a fail high, different average weights are used depending on whether or not there was a best move change during the last search.

The weights are determined from the following two consecutive LTC tunings.

First tuning: https://tests.stockfishchess.org/tests/view/68ab727975da51a345a5ac2e
Second tuning: https://tests.stockfishchess.org/tests/view/68aba3fe75da51a345a5ad52

Michael ChalyandJoost VandeVondele af181d9fe1 Small simplification in probCut movepicker
Remove no longer required condition for tt moves. The idea is that if tt the value is
greater than probCut beta try tt move that is a capture anyway - even if it
doesn't pass SEE check.  This idea in various implementations passed some STCs
and was looking decent at LTCs as a gainer.

Stefan GeschwentnerandJoost VandeVondele c56bd10cb5 Fix undefined behavior in stalemate trap detection.
An important part of it is a function which detects if we can move a king or
pawn. If this function called before quiet move generation phase the end of the
checked move list is undefined (Thanks to AliceRoselia pointing out we have
some problem because of wrong bench in a test).

This problem exists also in master but is really rarely triggered (thanks to
vondele which found one) but it seen significant more often if the capture
order score is increased.

This fix now simply assumes in this case (and other similiar cases) that a king
or pawn can move without checking any moves.
