Fix pruning to (in TB loss) in Null move pruning.

Current logic can apply Null move pruning
on a dead-lost position returning an unproven loss
(i.e. in TB loss score or mated in losing score) on nonPv nodes.

on a default bench, this can be observed by adding this debugging line:
```
if (nullValue >= beta)
{
// Do not return unproven mate or TB scores
nullValue = std::min(nullValue, VALUE_TB_WIN_IN_MAX_PLY-1);
dbg_hit_on(nullValue <= VALUE_TB_LOSS_IN_MAX_PLY); // Hit #0: Total 73983 Hits 1 Hit Rate (%) 0.00135166
if (thisThread->nmpMinPly || depth < 14)
return nullValue;
```

This fixes this very rare issue (happens at ~0.00135166% of the time) by
eliminating the need to try Null Move Pruning with dead-lost positions
and leaving it to be determined by a normal searching flow.

The previous try to fix was not as safe enough because it was capping
the returned value to (out of TB range) thus reviving the dead-lost position
based on an artificial clamp (i.e. the in TB score/mate score can be lost on that nonPv node):

Make posix and msys2 shells consistent in CI

In CI, it is typical for the process to halt immediately when an error
is encountered. However, with our `shell: bash {0}` configuration,
the process continues despite errors for posix shells.
This commit updates the behavior of posix and msys2 shells to ensure
consistency in terms of pipeline exit codes and stop conditions.
We adopt the most appropriate default behavior as recommended
by the GitHub documentation.

Update the code that searches for the bench value in the git log:
- to be compatible with the new shell settings
- to retry the value from the first line that contains
only the template and spaces/tabs/newlines

faster permutation of master net weights

Permutation found using https://github.com/Ergodice/nnue-pytorch/blob/836387a0e5e690431d404158c46648710f13904d/ftperm.py
See also https://github.com/glinscott/nnue-pytorch/pull/254

The algorithm greedily selects 2- and 3-cycles that can be permuted to increase the number of runs of zeroes. The percent of zero runs from the master net increased from 68.46 to 70.11 from 2-cycles and only increased to 70.32 when considering 3-cycles. Interestingly, allowing both halves of L1 to intermix when creating zero runs can give another 0.5% zero-run density increase with this method.

Stockfish 16

Official release version of Stockfish 16

Bench: 2593605

---

Stockfish 16

A new major release of Stockfish is now available at

https://stockfishchess.org/download/

*Quality of chess play*

Stockfish continues to demonstrate its ability to discover superior moves
with remarkable speed. In self-play against Stockfish 15, this new
release gains up to 50 Elo[1] and wins up to 12 times more game pairs[2]
than it loses. In major chess engine tournaments, Stockfish reliably tops
the rankings[3] winning the TCEC season 24 Superfinal, Swiss, Fischer
Random, and Double Random Chess tournaments and the CCC 19 Bullet,
20 Blitz, and 20 Rapid competitions. Leela Chess Zero[4] was the
challenger in most finals, putting top-engine chess now firmly in the
hands of teams embracing free and open-source software.

*Progress made*

This updated version of Stockfish introduces several enhancements,
including an upgraded neural net architecture (SFNNv6)[5], improved
implementation, and refined parameterization. The ongoing utilization
of Leela’s data combined with a novel inference approach exploiting
sparsity[6], and network compression[7] ensure a speedy evaluation and
modest binary sizes while allowing for more weights and higher accuracy.
The search has undergone more optimization, leading to improved
performance, particularly in longer analyses[8]. Additionally,
the Fishtest framework has been improved and is now able to run the
tests needed to validate new ideas with 10000s of CPU cores.

*Usability improvements*

Stockfish now comes with documentation, found in the wiki folder when
downloading it or on GitHub[9]. Additionally, Stockfish now includes
a clear and consistent forced tablebase win score, displaying a value
of 200 minus the number of plies required to reach a tablebase win[10].
Furthermore, the UCI_Elo option, to reduce its strength, has been
calibrated[11]. It is worth noting that the evaluation system remains
consistent with Stockfish 15.1[12], maintaining the choice that 100cp
means a 50% chance of winning the game against an equal opponent[13].
Finally, binaries of our latest development version are now provided
continuously as pre-releases on GitHub making it easier for
enthusiasts to download the latest and strongest version of
the program[14], we thank Roman Korba for having provided a similar
service for a long time.

*Thank you*

The success of the Stockfish project relies on the vibrant community
of passionate enthusiasts (we appreciate each and every one of you!)
who generously contribute their knowledge, time, and resources.
Together, this dedicated community works towards the common goal of
developing a powerful, freely accessible, and open-source chess engine.
We invite all chess enthusiasts to join the Fishtest testing framework
and contribute to the project[15].

Update default net to nn-5af11540bbfe.nnue

Created by retraining the sparsified master net (nn-cd2ff4716c34.nnue) on
a 100% minified dataset including Leela transformers data from T80 may2023.

Weights permuted with the exact methods and code in:
https://github.com/official-stockfish/Stockfish/pull/4620

LEB128 compression done with the new serialize.py param in:
https://github.com/glinscott/nnue-pytorch/pull/251

Initially trained with max epoch 800. Around epoch 780, training was paused
and max epoch raised to 960.

Permute master net weights to increase sparsity

Activation data collection using https://github.com/AndrovT/Stockfish/commit/ac468039ab544b03ad9a22c859a4217729c10a77 run as

bench 16 1 13 varied_1000.epd depth NNUE log.bin

on FENs from https://gist.github.com/AndrovT/7eae6918eb50764227e2bafe7938953c.

Permutation found using https://gist.github.com/AndrovT/359c831b7223c637e9156b01eb96949e.
Uses a greedy algorithm that goes sequentially through the output positions and
chooses a neuron for that position such that the number of nonzero quartets is the smallest.

Net weights permuted using https://gist.github.com/AndrovT/9e3fbaebb7082734dc84d27e02094cb3.
