Prevent accidential misuse of TUNE()
...
Writing a TUNE expression like
int smallNetThreshold = 962;
TUNE(smallNetThreshold, 850, 1050);
is wrong and can lead to a weird binary. It should thus fail to even compile,
with the proper intellisense you'll also see the error directly in your editor.
A cheap way to prevent this is to disallow any fundamental type in the parameter list.

Consistent syntax for class members
...
Currently, search.cpp uses three different syntax when accessing class member variables
* thisThread object references. This was a remnant from when pos.this_thread() was necessary for thread-local variable access
* this object references
* implicit member variable access
This PR aims to deprecate thisThread and standardize this syntax to implicit variable access, which is consistent with the rest of SF's codebase.

Refactor movegen to emit to a vector with 16-bit elements, which enables a
speedup with AVX512-VBMI2 when writing moves to the move list.
Very crude timing measurements of perft via timing ./stockfish "go perft 7"
demonstrates approximately 17% perft speedup:
Summary
./Stockfish-dev/src/stockfish 'go perft 7' ran
1.17 ± 0.04 times faster than ./Stockfish-base/src/stockfish 'go perft 7'
Estimated overall nps increase of 0.4% via speedtest: 33605229 -> 33749825
(many thanks JonathanHallstrom).
The corresponding arch is avx512icl as it is a good baseline for consumer
avx-512 feature set support; Intel Ice Lake was the first consumer AVX-512 CPU
and it is a decent subset of what AMD Zen 4 supports.

Introduce Secondary TT Aging
...
When a high-depth TT entry fail to produce a cutoff, decrease the stored depth
by 1. This is intended to help cases such as #5023
(https://github.com/official-stockfish/Stockfish/issues/5023#issuecomment-2814209391 ),
where entries with extremely high depths prevent TT cutoffs, contributing to
search explosions.

build & ci: update to NDK r27c API level 29
...
Update to the latest LTS version NDK r27c (27.2.12479018),
the previous NDK are unsupported by Google, see:
https://developer.android.com/ndk/downloads
A build with NDK r27c and API level < 29 returns this error:
"executable's TLS segment is underaligned: alignment is 8 (skew 0), needs to be at least 64 for ARM64 Bionic"
Update the API level to 29 to use the native ELF LTS and avoid the error:
https://android.googlesource.com/platform/bionic/+/HEAD/docs/elf-tls.md
https://android.googlesource.com/platform/bionic/+/HEAD/android-changes-for-ndk-developers.md#elf-tls-available-for-api-level-29
A dynamic link build of Stockfish uses these libraries:
ldd stockfish-android-armv8-dynamic-api35
libm.so => /system/lib64/libm.so
libdl.so => /system/lib64/libdl.so
libc.so => /system/lib64/libc.so
ld-android.so => /system/lib64/ld-android.so
ld-android.so : the dynamic linker used by Android (on Linux is named ld-linux.so),
responsible for loading and linking shared libraries into an executable at runtime.
libdl.so : interface/library layer that provides function for dynamic loading,
relies on the underlying functionality provided by the dynamic linker
libm.so : math library for Android
libc.so : standard C library for Android
References:
Doc for native (C/C++) API
https://developer.android.com/ndk/guides/stable_apis
C libraries (libc, libm, libdl):
https://developer.android.com/ndk/guides/stable_apis#c_library
Bionic changes with API levels:
https://android.googlesource.com/platform/bionic/+/HEAD/docs/status.md
NDK r27c build system:
https://android.googlesource.com/platform/ndk/+/ndk-r27-release/docs/BuildSystemMaintainers.md
CI: Update to NDK r27c (27.2.12479018), the default version in GitHub runner,
to switch to a recent clang 18.
A PGO build requires static linking, because the NDK doesn't ship
the Android loaders (linker/linker64), see:
https://groups.google.com/g/android-ndk/c/3Ep6zD3xxSY
The API level should not be an issue when distributing a static build,
use the API 29, the oldest one not affected by the LTS alignement issue.
