Include pawns in NNUE scaling

We now include the total pawn count in the scaling factor for the output
of the NNUE evaluation network. This should have the effect of trying to
keep more pawns when SF has the advantage, but exchange them when she
is defending.

Thanks to Alexander Pagel (Lolligerhans) for the idea of using the
value of pawns to ease the comparison with the rest of the material
estimation.

Adjust null move pruning constants

Idea is that division by fraction of 2 is slightly faster than by other numbers so parameters are adjusted in a way that division in null move pruning depth reduction features dividing by 256 instead of dividing by 213.

Tweak nnue scaling to keep more material

Current master uses a constant scale factor of 5/4 = 1.25 for the output
of the NNUE network, for compatibility with search and classical evaluation.
We modify this scale factor to make it dependent on the phase of the game,
going from about 1.5 in the opening to 1.0 for pure pawn endgames.

This helps Stockfish to avoid exchanges of pieces (heavy pieces in particular)
when she has the advantage, keeping more material on the board when attacking.

Suppress info strings before 'uci'

On Windows, Stockfish wouldn't launch in some GUI because we output some
info strings (about the use of large pages) before sending the 'uci'
command. It seems more robust to suppress these info strings, and instead
to add a proper section section in the Readme about large pages use.

Add large page support for NNUE weights and simplify TT mem management

Use TT memory functions to allocate memory for the NNUE weights. This
should provide a small speed-up on systems where large pages are not
automatically used, including Windows and some Linux distributions.

Further, since we now have a wrapper for std::aligned_alloc(), we can
simplify the TT memory management a bit:

- We no longer need to store separate pointers to the hash table and
its underlying memory allocation.
- We also get to merge the Linux-specific and default implementations
of aligned_ttmem_alloc().

Finally, we'll enable the VirtualAlloc code path with large page
support also for Win32.

Improve NDK section in Makefile

This PR sets the "comp" variable simply to "clang",
which seems to be more consistent and allows a small simplification.

The PR also moves the section that sets "profile_make" and "profile_use" to after the NDK section,
which ensures that these variables are now set correctly for NDK/clang.

Use 2 * bestMoveChanges.

NNUE appears to provide a more stable eval than the classic eval,
so the time use dependencies on bestMoveChanges, fallingEval,
etc may need to change to make the best use of available time.
This change doubles the effect of totBestMoveChanges when giving
more time because the choice of best move is unstable.

Simplify StatSCore Initialization

No need to initialize StatScore at rootNode. Current Logic is redundant because at subsequent levels the grandchildren statScore is initialized to zero.

Double probability of using classical eval

This patch doubles the moderate imbalance threshold and probability of using classical eval.
So now if imbalance is greater than PawnValueMg / 4 then there is a 1/8 chance of using classical eval.
