Small speedup in futility_move_count

The speedup is around 0.25% using gcc 11.3.1 (bmi2, nnue bench, depth 16
and 23) while it is neutral using clang (same conditions).

According to `perf` that integer division was one of the most time-consuming
instructions in search (gcc disassembly).

SE depth scaling using the previous depth

This patch makes the SE depth condition more robust and allows it to scale with completed depth
from a previous search.

At long TC this patch is almost equivalent to https://github.com/official-stockfish/Stockfish/pull/4016 which had

VLTC:
https://tests.stockfishchess.org/tests/view/626abd7e8707aa698c0093a8
Elo: 2.35 +-1.5 (95%) LOS: 99.9%

Ptnml(0-2): 8, 3534, 12648, 3799, 11
nElo: 5.47 +-3.4 (95%) PairsRatio: 1.08

VLTC multicore:
https://tests.stockfishchess.org/tests/view/6272a6afc8f14123163c1997
LLR: 2.94 (-2.94,2.94) <0.50,3.00>
Total: 86808 W: 24165 L: 23814 D: 38829 Elo +1.40
Ptnml(0-2): 11, 7253, 28524, 7606, 10

however, it is now also gaining at LTC:

LTC:
https://tests.stockfishchess.org/tests/view/627e7cb523c0c72a05b651a9
LLR: 2.94 (-2.94,2.94) <0.50,3.00>

Ptnml(0-2): 8, 2446, 8390, 2675, 13

and should have nearly no influence at STC as depth 27 is rarely reached.
It was noticed that initializing the threshold with MAX_PLY, had an adverse effect,
possibly because the first move is sensitive to this.

Update NNUE architecture to SFNNv5. Update network to nn-3c0aa92af1da.nnue.

Architecture changes:

Duplicated activation after the 1024->15 layer with squared crelu (so 15->15*2). As proposed by vondele.

Trainer changes:

Added bias to L1 factorization, which was previously missing (no measurable improvement but at least neutral in principle)
For retraining linearly reduce lambda parameter from 1.0 at epoch 0 to 0.75 at epoch 800.
reduce max_skipping_rate from 15 to 10 (compared to vondele's outstanding PR)

Note: This network was trained with a ~0.8% error in quantization regarding the newly added activation function.
This will be fixed in the released trainer version. Expect a trainer PR tomorrow.

Note: The inference implementation cuts a corner to merge results from two activation functions.
This could possibly be resolved nicer in the future. AVX2 implementation likely not necessary, but NEON is missing.
