se separate parameters for stat values

The code has been refactored to remove the `stat_bonus` and `stat_malus`
functions, as the code for each bonus/malus is now different. This
allows for future tests to modify these formulas individually.

Replace hint_common_parent_position() by backwards accumulator updates

Only calls to `evaluate()` now trigger NNUE accumulator updates. To make
sure that we are likely to find parent positions from which to update
the accumulators we perform a backwards NNUE update whenever we compute
the accumulator from scratch for some position.

Do more reductions for cut nodes without a tt move

Logic is somewhat similar to IIR but in LMR.
Usually things like reducing more in IIR scale badly but this patch does
this in LMR where reducing more for cutNodes is in general good, so I
believe there is no non-linear scaling.

Reduce less for positions without tt move

Continuation of work on scaling.
In line with previous scaling patches this one massively reduces
reduction for moves that don't go thru lmr for position without a tt
move.

VVLTC parameters tweak

Some notes:
- Both tests were conducted on top of #5848.
- Based on tuning suggestions, the extension for capturing the
previously moved piece was removed/simplified. (Developers can attempt
to reintroduce it post-merge if needed.)
- Initially, bonusScale = std::max(bonusScale, -2); was included but
later removed in the second test upon Viz's request, however, it was
nearly non-functional anyway.

Disallow same option being added twice

Now exits during startup.

```
./stockfish
Stockfish dev-20250202-243c7c6a by the Stockfish developers (see AUTHORS file)
x1,5,0,10,0.5,0.0020
Option: "x1" was already added!
```

i.e. prevents and helps debug this case

```cpp
int x1 = 5;

TUNE(x1);
TUNE(x1);
```
