Fixes problems with non-ASCII characters in paths. Fixes #3424. Changes - Bump the minimum supported Clang version to 11 to support std::filesystem - Use std::optional for empty values instead of string sentinels like "None" - Remove the FixedString class - Move the EvalFile network path from the network struct to the engine - Simplify parts of the command-line handling - Remove the old dual-net logic from export_net - And ofc we now support non-ascii paths for windows Behavior Change - Because the EvalFile is no longer part of the network, it won't be included in the hashing, thus the network sharing is no longer dependent on the EvalFile path - As a result, if the binary version and network are the same, changing only the EvalFile location will now reuse the same shared network This also fixes a master bug where: ``` export_net None setoption name EvalFile value None export_net None Failed to export a net ``` would fail on the second export. With this patch, the second export succeeds. Quick Fishtest Check that nets load like normal. https://tests.stockfishchess.org/tests/view/6a455593f97ff95f787954da <img width="833" height="1137" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/fffee63b-c63a-4d5e-b13d-87d58bc28c88" /> closes https://github.com/official-stockfish/Stockfish/pull/6937 No functional change Co-authored-by: anematode <timothy.herchen@gmail.com>
