Limit double extensions

Double extensions can lead to search explosions, for specific positions.
Currently, however, these double extensions are worth about 10Elo and cannot
be removed. This patch instead limits the number of double extensions given
to a maximum of 3.

This fixes https://github.com/official-stockfish/Stockfish/issues/3532
where the following testcase was shown to be problematic:

```
uci
setoption name Hash value 4
setoption name Contempt value 0
ucinewgame
position fen 8/Pk6/8/1p6/8/P1K5/8/6B1 w - - 37 130

Clean SIMD code a bit

Cleaner vector code structure in feature transformer. This patch just

It would be nice if a future patch could use some of the macros at
the top of the file to unify the code between the distincts SIMD
instruction sets (of course, unifying the Relu will be the challenge).

Do not use lazy evaluation inside NNUE

This simplification patch implements two changes:

1. it simplifies away the so-called "lazy" path in the NNUE evaluation internals,
where we trusted the psqt head alone to avoid the costly "positional" head in
some cases;
2. it raises a little bit the NNUEThreshold1 in evaluate.cpp (from 682 to 800),
which increases the limit where we switched from NNUE eval to Classical eval.

Both effects increase the number of positional evaluations done by our new net
architecture, but the results of our tests below seem to indicate that the loss
of speed will be compensated by the gain of eval quality.

former PV node) from LMR if a response to the first previous

Expose the lazy threshold for the feature transformer PSQT as a parameter.

Definition of the lazy threshold moved to evaluate.cpp where all others are.
Lazy threshold only used for real searches, not used for the "eval" call.
This preserves the purity of NNUE evaluation, which is useful to verify
consistency between the engine and the NNUE trainer.

Sometimes change the (materialist, positional) balance

Our new nets output two values for the side to move in the last layer.
We can interpret the first value as a material evaluation of the
position, and the second one as the dynamic, positional value of the
location of pieces.

This patch changes the balance for the (materialist, positional) parts
of the score from (128, 128) to (121, 135) when the piece material is
equal between the two players, but keeps the standard (128, 128) balance
when one player is at least an exchange up.
