mstemberaandJoost VandeVondele ee243f0fdc Remove x86-64-vnni256 target 
When vnni256 was first introduced #3038 it was very slightly faster than vnni512
on some machines. We have since sped up vnni512 significantly (#4796 over 10%
alone, #6139, and probably others I'm forgetting). Since any machine that can
run vnni256 can run vnni512 this arch is no longer useful.

Note, x86-64-avxvnni still covers targets that don't have AVX512 but do have
VNNI on 128- and 256-bit vectors.

mstemberaandDisservin ce7254b5ea Optimize find_nnz() using AVX512 
About a 1% speedup for ARCH x86-64-avx512 and x86-64-vnni512.

Note:  This could be optimized further if we wanted to add an ARCH
supporting VBMI2 which is even more modern than VNNI.

mstemberaandJoost VandeVondele 009632c465 Simplify handling of good/bad quiets 
Simplify the handling of good/bad quiets and make it more similar to the way we
handle good/bad captures. The good quiet limit was adjusted from -7998 to
-14000 to keep the ratio of good/bad quiets about the same as master.  This
also fixes a "bug" that previously returned some bad quiets during the
GOOD_QUIET stage when some qood quiets weren't sorted at low depths.

The two most common cases are when added and removed counts are equal
and when they are off by 1.  When they are off by 1 we currently do a
pass combining 2 and then an extra pass for the last 1.  This patch does
a single combined pass on the final 3 instead. Tested on top of the

It's faster to shrink lookup_indices[] to 8 bit and zero extend to 16 bit using _mm_cvtepu8_epi16() than to read the larger 16 bit version. I suspect that having the constants available at compile time isn't too valuable and can be simplified back to generating at initialization time since this version also almost passed. https://tests.stockfishchess.org/tests/view/67863057460e2910c51de7e0 I will try that as a follow up.

- If we only need to know if attackers exist we can skip some
  calculations.
- Also calculating slider/magic attackers first is better because the
  double lookup is slow due to memory latency.
- I also included a couple of very minor cleanups in search that
  probably don't warrant their own PR but I can open separately if
  that's better.

mstemberaandDisservin a5a76a6370 Introduce BAD_QUIET movepicker stage 
Split quiets into good and bad as we do with captures. When we find
the first quiet move below a certain threshold that has been sorted we
consider all subsequent quiets bad.  Inspired by @locutus2 idea to skip
bad captures.
