Use ttPv in depth condition of singular extensions

This replaces the PvNode condition and tte Pv call previously with using
the precomputed ttPv, and also removes the multiplier of 2. This new
depth condition occurs with approximately equal frequency (47%) to the
old depth condition (measured when the other conditions in the if are
true), so non-linear scaling behaviour isn't expected.

Move perft out of search

This splits the logic of search and perft. Before, threads were started,
which then constructed a search object, which then started perft and
returned immediately. All of this is unnecessary, instead uci should

Update the WDL model

Update the internal WDL model. After the dual net merge, the internal
evaluations have drifted upwards a bit. With this PR
`NormalizeToPawnValue` changes from `328` to `345`.

The new model was fitted based on about 200M positions extracted from
3.4M fishtest LTC games from the last two weeks, involving SF versions
from 6deb88728fb141e853243c2873ad0cda4dd19320 to current master.

Apart from the WDL model parameter update, this PR implements the
following changes:

WDL Model:
- an incorrect 8-move shift in master's WDL model has been fixed
- the polynomials `p_a` and `p_b` are fitted over the move range [8, 120]
- the coefficients for `p_a` and `p_b` are optimized by maximizing the
probability of predicting the observed outcome (credits to @vondele)

SF code:
- for wdl values, move will be clamped to `max(8, min(120, move))`
- no longer clamp the internal eval to [-4000,4000]
- compute `NormalizeToPawnValue` with `round`, not `trunc`

The PR only affects displayed `cp` and `wdl` values.

Reduce futility_margin further when improving

The idea of this is to unroll the futility_margin calculation to allow
for the improving flag to have a greater effect on the futility margin.
The current factor is 1.5 instead of the previous 1 resulting in a
deduction of an extra margin/2 from futilit_margin if improving. The
chosen value was not tuned, meaning that there is room for tweaking it.
This patch is partially inspired by @Vizvezdenec, who, although quite
different in execution, tested another idea where the futility_margin is
lowered further when improving [1].

Fix dotprod detection

This fixes the detection of dotprod capable CPUs. Previously it looked
for the `dotprod` flag, but this does not exist
(https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/tree/arch/arm64/kernel/cpuinfo.c#n50).
The correct flag that specifies the dotprod capability is the `asimddp`
flag.

Fix mated-in behaviour

This addresses the issue where Stockfish may output non-proven checkmate
scores if the search is prematurely halted, either due to a time control
or node limit, before it explores other possibilities where the
checkmate score could have been delayed or refuted.

The fix also replaces staving off from proven mated scores in a
multithread environment making use of the threads instead of a negative
effect with multithreads (1t was better in proving mated in scores than
more threads).

Issue reported on mate tracker repo by and this PR is co-authored with
@robertnurnberg Special thanks to @AndyGrant for outlining that a fix is
eventually possible.

Simplify bad quiets

The main difference is that instead of returning the first bad quiet as
a good one we fall through. This is actually more correct and simpler
to implement.

The cutoff is now -8K instead of -7.5K.
-7.5K failed. https://tests.stockfishchess.org/tests/view/659a1f4b79aa8af82b962a0e
This was likely a false negative.
