Prevent accidential misuse of TUNE()

Writing a TUNE expression like

int smallNetThreshold = 962;
TUNE(smallNetThreshold, 850, 1050);

is wrong and can lead to a weird binary. It should thus fail to even compile,
with the proper intellisense you'll also see the error directly in your editor.

A cheap way to prevent this is to disallow any fundamental type in the parameter list.

Consistent syntax for class members

Currently, search.cpp uses three different syntax when accessing class member variables

* thisThread object references. This was a remnant from when pos.this_thread() was necessary for thread-local variable access
* this object references
* implicit member variable access

This PR aims to deprecate thisThread and standardize this syntax to implicit variable access, which is consistent with the rest of SF's codebase.

Refactor movegen to emit to a vector with 16-bit elements, which enables a
speedup with AVX512-VBMI2 when writing moves to the move list.

Very crude timing measurements of perft via timing ./stockfish "go perft 7"
demonstrates approximately 17% perft speedup:

Summary
./Stockfish-dev/src/stockfish 'go perft 7' ran
1.17 ± 0.04 times faster than ./Stockfish-base/src/stockfish 'go perft 7'

Estimated overall nps increase of 0.4% via speedtest: 33605229 -> 33749825
(many thanks JonathanHallstrom).

The corresponding arch is avx512icl as it is a good baseline for consumer
avx-512 feature set support; Intel Ice Lake was the first consumer AVX-512 CPU
and it is a decent subset of what AMD Zen 4 supports.

Optimize find_nnz() using AVX512

About a 1% speedup for ARCH x86-64-avx512 and x86-64-vnni512.

Note: This could be optimized further if we wanted to add an ARCH
supporting VBMI2 which is even more modern than VNNI.

Fix trivial errors in Makefile

1. Remove "default" rule as "default" has no special meaning as a rule
name. Make runs the very first rule whose name doesn't begin with a dot
(which is "help" currently).

2. Make "format" rule not update dependencies.

Introduce a constant for ValueList size in search()

Having the size of these lists in two separate places likely contributed
to the crashes seen during the recent tuning attempt
https://tests.stockfishchess.org/tests/view/685c413343ce022d15794536.

Thanks to @MinetaS for spotting this.
