Joost VandeVondele 0b9068d510 Fix integer overflow.
scaledBonus can reach rather large values,
which lead to an int overflow as detected anematode using ubsan.
(see https://github.com/official-stockfish/Stockfish/issues/6505#issuecomment-3696988889)

It can be fixed by scaling nominator and denominator appropriately,
which doesn't change the bench, as long as there is no overflow.

First overflow/bench change happens at depth 26

(The large gain of the first STC was probably a fluke, and this result
is more reasonable!)

After shared correction history, Viz suggested we try sharing other
histories, especially `pawnHistory`. As far as we're aware, sharing
history besides correction history (like Caissa does) is novel. The
implementation follows the same pattern as shared correction history –
the size of the history table is scaled with
`next_power_of_two(threadsInNumaNode)` and the entry is prefetched in
`do_move`.

A bit of refactoring was done to accommodate this new history. Note that
we prefetch `&history->pawn_entry(*this)[pc][to]` rather than
`&history->pawn_entry(*this)` because unlike the other entries, each
entry contains multiple cache lines.

Basically the idea here is to share correction history between threads.
That way, T1 can use the correction values produced by T2, which already
searched positions with that pawn structure etc., so that T1 can search
more efficiently. The table size per thread is about the same, so we
shouldn't get a large increase in hash collisions; in fact, I'd expect a
lower collision rate overall.

Although I came up with and implemented the idea independently,
[Caissa](https://github.com/Witek902/Caissa) was the first engine to
implement corrhist sharing (and corrhist in the first place) – this idea
is not completely novel.

The table size is rounded to a power of two. In particular, it's `65536
* nextPowerOfTwo(threadCount)`. That way, the indexing operation becomes
an AND of the key bits with a mask, rather than something more expensive
(e.g., a `mul_hi64`-style approach or a modulo).

The updates are racy, like the TT, but because `entry` is hoisted into a
register, there's no risk of writing back a value that's out of the
designated range `[-D, D]`. Various attempts at rewriting using atomics
led to substantial slowdowns, so we begrudgingly ignored the functions
in thread sanitizer, but at some point we'd like to make this better.

We allocate one shared correction history per NUMA node, because the
penalty associated with crossing nodes is substantial – I get a 40% hit
with NPS=4 and 256 threads, which is intolerable. With separate tables
per NUMA node I get a 6% penalty for nodes per second, which isn't ideal
but apparently compensated for.

Timothy HerchenandJoost VandeVondele b083049fe0 Use non-locking operations for nodes count and tbHits
fetch_add and friends must produce a locking instruction because they guarantee
consistency in the presence of multiple writers. Because only one thread ever
writes to nodes and tbHits, we may use relaxed load and store to emit regular
loads and stores (on both x86-64 and arm64), while avoiding undefined behavior
and miscounting nodes.

Credit must go to Arseniy Surkov of Reckless (codedeliveryservice) for
uncovering this performance gotcha.

Timothy HerchenandJoost VandeVondele fa4f05d3ef Don't copy around DirtyThreats
The contents of DirtyThreats gets memcpyed twice for each call to do_move.
(Return value optimization doesn't apply to the do_move function itself because
it constructs a std::pair, so it gets copied; and the calls to reset also
require a copy.) This patch inserts the dirty info in place.

Sometimes the caller of do_move ignores the DirtyThreats info, so we pass in
scratch objects. I found that stack-allocating these scratch objects was bad on
Fishtest, so I begrudgingly put them in the Position struct. Both templating
the do_move function on whether dirty threats are needed and putting a
null-check branch for each use of dirty threats were slowdowns locally. Of
course, nothing prevents a future attempt at cleaning this up.

+1 8e5392d79a Update NNUE architecture to SFNNv10 with Threat Inputs and net nn-49c1193b131c.nnue
This commit introduces Full Threat Input features, which are a subset of Piece(Square)-Piece(Square) pairs. In any given position, the active features consist of pairs where the second piece’s square lies in the attack set of the first piece. This is an extremely simplified explanation that leaves out many details. The already-used HalfKAv2_hm feature set completes the input features.
Minor quantization changes have also been made.

The net nn-49c1193b131c.nnue was trained by vondele using the following setup: https://github.com/vondele/nettest/blob/7de71238e9b295e3f88ed7c9c5936af632c9b981/threats.yaml

A graphical version of an earlier scheme (with less refinement) that illustrates the core concepts can be found attached.
