gab8192andDisservin 49ef4c935a Implement accumulator refresh table
For each thread persist an accumulator cache for the network, where each
cache contains multiple entries for each of the possible king squares.
When the accumulator needs to be refreshed, the cached entry is used to more
efficiently update the accumulator, instead of rebuilding it from scratch.
This idea, was first described by Luecx (author of Koivisto) and
is commonly referred to as "Finny Tables".

When the accumulator needs to be refreshed, instead of filling it with
biases and adding every piece from scratch, we...

1. Take the `AccumulatorRefreshEntry` associated with the new king bucket
2. Calculate the features to activate and deactivate (from differences
   between bitboards in the entry and bitboards of the actual position)
3. Apply the updates on the refresh entry
4. Copy the content of the refresh entry accumulator to the accumulator
   we were refreshing
5. Copy the bitboards from the position to the refresh entry, to match
   the newly updated accumulator

gab8192andJoost VandeVondele d6bdcec52c Remove an useless assignment
The assignment (ss + 1)->excludedMove = Move::none() can be simplified away because when that line is reached, (ss + 1)->excludedMove is always already none. The only moment stack[x]->excludedMove is modified, is during singular search, but it is reset to none right after the singular search is finished.
