Finally, DualNNUE merged into the master branch of Stockfish!

Link to the specific commit: https://github.com/official-stockfish/S ... dfb06f52ba

General commit info:

Dual NNUE with L1-128 smallnet

Credit goes to @mstembera for:
- writing the code enabling dual NNUE:
#4898
- the idea of trying L1-128 trained exclusively on high simple eval
positions

The L1-128 smallnet is:
- epoch 399 of a single-stage training from scratch
- trained only on positions from filtered data with high material
difference
- defined by abs(simple_eval) > 1000

Training data can be found at:
https://robotmoon.com/nnue-training-data/

Local elo at 25k nodes per move of
L1-128 smallnet (nnue-only eval) vs. L1-128 trained on standard S1 data:
nn-epoch399.nnue : -318.1 +/- 2.1

Improve ttPv reduction

This patch allows a partial reduction decrease when a node is likely to
fail low, and increases the reduction decrease when a node has failed
high.

Use ttPv in depth condition of singular extensions

This replaces the PvNode condition and tte Pv call previously with using
the precomputed ttPv, and also removes the multiplier of 2. This new
depth condition occurs with approximately equal frequency (47%) to the
old depth condition (measured when the other conditions in the if are
true), so non-linear scaling behaviour isn't expected.
