Fix overflow in add_dpbusd_epi32x2

This patch fixes 16bit overflow in *_add_dpbusd_epi32x2 functions,
that can be triggered in rare cases depending on the NNUE weights.

While the code leads to some slowdown on affected architectures
(most notably avx2), the fix is simpler than some of the other
options discussed in
https://github.com/official-stockfish/Stockfish/pull/4394

Code suggested by Sopel97.

Result of "bench 4096 1 30 default depth nnue":

| Architecture | master | patch (gcc) | patch (clang) |

| x86-64 | 762122798 | 762122798 | 762122798 |

Following architectures will experience ~4% slowdown due to an
additional instruction in the middle of hot path:

* x86-64-avx512
* x86-64-bmi2
* x86-64-avx2
* x86-64-sse41-popcnt (x86-64-modern)
* x86-64-ssse3
* x86-32-sse41-popcnt

This patch clearly loses Elo against master with both STC and LTC.

Update default net to nn-1337b1adec5b.nnue

Created by retraining the master net on a dataset composed of:

* Most of the previous best dataset filtered to remove positions likely having only one good move
* Adding training data from Leela T77 dec2021 rescored with 16tb of 7-piece tablebases

Trained with end lambda 0.7 and max epoch 900. Positions with ply <= 28 were removed from most of the previous best dataset before training began. A new nnue-pytorch trainer param for skipping early plies was used to skip plies <= 24 in the unfiltered and additional Leela T77 parts of the dataset.

```
python easy_train.py \
--experiment-name leela96-dfrc99-T80octnovT79aprmayT60novdec-eval-filt-v2-T78augsep-12tb-T77dec-16tb-lambda7-sk24 \

--end-lambda 0.7 \
--gamma 0.995 \
--lr 4.375e-4 \
--tui False \
--seed $RANDOM \
--max_epoch 900
```

The depth6 multipv2 search filtering method is the same as the one used for filtering recent best datasets, with a lower eval difference threshold to remove slightly more positions than before. These parts of the dataset were filtered:

* 96% of T60T70wIsRightFarseerT60T74T75T76.binpack
* 99% of dfrc_n5000.binpack
* T80 oct + nov 2022 data, no positions with castling flags, rescored with ~600gb 7p tablebases
* T79 apr + may 2022 data, rescored with 12tb 7p tablebases
* T60 nov + dec 2021 data, rescored with 12tb 7p tablebases

These parts of the dataset were not filtered. Positions with ply <= 24 were skipped during training:

* T78 aug + sep 2022 data, rescored with 12tb 7p tablebases
* 84% of T77 dec 2021 data, rescored with 16tb 7p tablebases

Cleanup and reorder in qsearch

This patch is a simplification / code normalisation in qsearch.

Adds steps in comments the same way we have in search;

Makes a separate "pruning" stage instead of heuristics randomly being spread over qsearch code;
Reorders pruning heuristics from least taxing ones to more taxing ones;
Removes repeated check for best value not being mated, instead uses 1 check - thus removes some lines of code.
Moves prefetch and move setup after pruning - makes no sense to do them if move will actually get pruned.

Improve excluded move logic

PR consists of 2 improvements on nodes with excludeMove:

1. Remove xoring the posKey with make_key(excludedMove)

Since we never call tte->save anymore with excludedMove,
the unique left purpose of the xoring was to avoid a TT hit.
Nevertheless on a normal bench run this produced ~25 false positives
(key collisions)
To avoid that we now forbid early TT cutoff's with excludeMove
Maybe these accesses to TT with xored key caused useless misses
in the CPU caches (L1, L2 ...)
Now doing the probe with the same key as the enclosing search does,
should hit the CPU cache.

2. Don't probe Tablebases with excludedMove.

This can't be tested on fishtest, but it's obvious that
tablebases don't deliver any information about suboptimal moves.

Side note:
Very surprisingly it looks like we cannot use static eval's from
TT since they slightly differ over time due to changing optimism.
Attempts to use static eval's from TT did loose about 13 ELO.
This is something about to investigate.

Do less SEE pruning in qsearch

Current master prunes all moves with negative SEE values in qsearch.
This patch sets constant negative threshold thus allowing some moves with negative SEE values to be searched.
Value of threshold is completely arbitrary and can be tweaked - also it as function of depth can be tried.
Original idea by author of Alexandria engine.

Update WLD model

update the WLD model with about 400M positions extracted from recent LTC games after the net updates.
This ensures that the 50% win rate is again at 1.0 eval.

Remove maxNextDepth

This patch allows full PV search to have double extensions as well when
extension == 1 && doDeeperSearch && doEvenDeeperSearch && !doShallowerSearch

Remove `previousDepth` in favor of `completedDepth + 2`

Beyond the simplification, this could be considered a bugfix from a certain point of view.
However, the effect is very subtle and essentially impossible for users to notice.
5372f81cc8 added about 2 Elo at LTC, but only for second and later `go` commands; now, with
this patch, the first `go` command will also benefit from that gain. Games under time
controls are unaffected (as per the tests).

Fixed UCI TB win values

This patch results in search values for a TB win/loss to be reported in a way that does not change with normalization, i.e. will be consistent over time.

A value of 200.00 pawns is now reported upon entering a TB won position. Values smaller than 200.00 relate to the distance in plies from the root to the probed position position,
with 1 cp being 1 ply distance.

Rebalance usage of history heuristics in pruning

This patch has multiple effects:

* history heuristics sum in futility pruning now can't exceed some negative value so futility pruning for moves with negative histories should become slightly less aggressive;

* history heuristics are now used in SEE pruning for quiet moves;
