Guy VreulsandJoost VandeVondele ea6220f381 This commit enables a mixed bench, to improve CI and allow for PGO (profile-build) of the NNUE part of the code.
Joint work gvreuls / vondele

* Download the default NNUE net in AppVeyor
* Download net in travis CI `make net`
* Adjust tests to cover more archs, speedup instrumented testing
* Introduce 'mixed' bench as default, with further options:

classical, NNUE, mixed.

mixed (default) and NNUE require the default net to be present,
which can be obtained with

```
make net
```

Further examples (first is equivalent to `./stockfish bench`):

```
./stockfish bench 16 1 13 default depth mixed
./stockfish bench 16 1 13 default depth classical
./stockfish bench 16 1 13 default depth NNUE
```

The net is now downloaded automatically if needed for `profile-build`
(usual `build` works fine without net present)

PGO gives a nice speedup on fishtest:

Guy VreulsandJoost VandeVondele 6d6267c378 Parallelize Link Time Optimization for GCC, CLANG and MINGW
This patch tries to run multiple LTO threads in parallel, speeding up
the build process of optimized builds if the -j make parameter is used.
This mitigates the longer linking times of optimized builds since the
integration of the NNUE code. Roughly 2x build speedup.

I've tried a similar patch some two years ago but it ran into trouble
with old compiler versions then. Since we're on the C++17 standard now
these old compilers should be obsolete.
