Set reduction to 0 if the move is a TT move

The reduction formula currently decreases by 1 if the move is a TT move.
This changes this by just setting the reduction to 0 instead.

Tweaking the futility pruning formula

Huge credit goes also to candirufish,
as the idea was first tried by him, and then tuned by me at multiple phases.

Tweaking the futility pruning formula to be a bit more selective about when pruning is applied.
Adjust the value added to the static eval based on the bestValue relative to ss->staticEval. If bestValue is significantly lower, we add a larger value.

Remove razoring history update.

The recently commit 'Rewarding Quiet Moves that Enable Razoring' add a history update if razoring. But its contains also many tuned values all over the search. Following tests shows that the tuned values and not the added history update is responsible for the elo gain. So remove later.

Rewarding Quiet Moves that Enable Razoring

The main idea of the patch comes from @peregrineshahin :
https://tests.stockfishchess.org/tests/view/65205363ac57711436728781

Another small idea (tuning) comes from @Vizvezdenec
https://tests.stockfishchess.org/tests/view/652e071ade6d262d08d318f4 And a long
phases of tuning and tests was done by me in order to make the patch be able to
pass both tests.

The idea, as mentioned by Peregrine is that in our standard code, if no best
move found after searching all moves, we give a bonus to the previous move that
caused the fail high. So in razoring we assume no bestmove will be found so we
might as well do the same.

Introduce pawn structure based history

Original idea by Seer chess engine https://github.com/connormcmonigle/seer-nnue,
coding done by @Disservin, code refactoring done by @locutus2 to match the style
of other histories.

This patch introduces pawn structure based history, which assings moves values
based on last digits of pawn structure hash and piece type of moved piece and
landing square of the move. Idea is that good places for pieces are quite often
determined by pawn structure of position. Used in 3 different places
- sorting of quiet moves, sorting of quiet check evasions and in history based
pruning in search.

remove blank line between function and it's description

- remove the blank line between the declaration of the function and it's
comment, leads to better IDE support when hovering over a function to see it's
description
- remove the unnecessary duplication of the function name in the functions
description
- slightly refactored code for lsb, msb in bitboard.h There are still a few
things we can be improved later on, move the description of a function where
it was declared (instead of implemented) and add descriptions to functions
which are behind macros ifdefs

use expanded variables for shell commands

Performance improvement for the shell commands in the Makefile.
By using expanded variables, the shell commands are only
evaluated once, instead of every time they are used.

add clang-format

This introduces clang-format to enforce a consistent code style for Stockfish.

Having a documented and consistent style across the code will make contributing easier
for new developers, and will make larger changes to the codebase easier to make.

To facilitate formatting, this PR includes a Makefile target (`make format`) to format the code,
this requires clang-format (version 17 currently) to be installed locally.

Installing clang-format is straightforward on most OS and distros
(e.g. with https://apt.llvm.org/, brew install clang-format, etc), as this is part of quite commonly
used suite of tools and compilers (llvm / clang).

Additionally, a CI action is present that will verify if the code requires formatting,
and comment on the PR as needed. Initially, correct formatting is not required, it will be
done by maintainers as part of the merge or in later commits, but obviously this is encouraged.

Reduces the stat bonus by 20%. Maybe future patches can tune the actual bonus calculations for different histories.
