behind a variable name, especially when there
is only once occurence.

Retire EasyMoveMargin

Use a value related to PawnValue instead.

This is a different patch from previous one because
could affect game play and skill levels, although
in a mostly unmeasurable way. Indeed thresold has
been raised so easy move is a bit harder to trigger
and skill level is a bit more prone to blunders.

Add experimental contempt factor

This is very crude and very basic: simply in case
of a draw for repetition or 50 moves rule return
a negative score instead of zero according to the
contempt factor (in centipawns). If contempt is
positive engine will try to avoid draws (to use
with weaker opponents), if negative engine will
try to draw. If zero (default) there are no changes.

Rewrite search best value update

A simplification and also a small speed-up of
about 1% mainly due to reducing calls to
thisThread->cutoff_occurred().

Worst case split point recovering time after a
cut-off occurred is limited to 3 msec on my slow
PC, and usually is below 1 msec, so it seems safe
to remove the cutoff_occurred() check.

Retire futility_move_count()

And remove (bestValue < beta) condition from
moves loop.

Allow prefetching on non-x86 platforms with gcc

In particular on ARM processors. Original patch by
Jean-Francois, sligtly modified by me to preserve
the meaning of NO_PREFETCH flag.

Verified with gcc, clang and icc that prefetch instruction
is correctly created.

Fix fallouts from previous patch

These kind of arch specific code is really nasty
to make it right becuase you need to verify on
all the platforms.

Now should compile properly also on ARM

Fix Contempt Factor implementation

First disable Contempt Factor during analysis, then
calculate the modified draw score from the point of
view of the player, so from the point of view of
RootPosition color.

Thanks to Ryan Taker for suggesting the fixes.

Fix mingw compile with ARCH=x86-64

When using the Makefile (as for the mingw case),
IS_64BIT and USE_BSFQ are already set with
ARCH=x86-64 and do not need to be redefined.

Fix POPCNT support on mingw 64

When using asm 'popcnt' instruction the given
operand registers must be of the same type.

Improve compatibility with older versions of Mac OS X

Use the -mmacosx-version-min flag to support older versions of Mac OS X
(like version 10.6 and 10.7) when compiled on a machine running version
10.8.
Sync qsearch with search

Port to qsearch() the same changes we recently
added to search().

Overall this search refactoring series shows
almost 2% speed up on gcc compile.

Add Contempt Factor in Polyglot

The contempt factor was previously not included in polyglot.ini

ARM lsb/msb assembly

Implement lsb/msb using armv7 assembly instructions.
msb is the easiest one, using a gcc intrinsic that generates
code using the ARM's clz instruction. lsb is also using this
clz instruction, but with the help of ARM's 'rbit' (bit
reversing) instruction. This leads to a >2% speed gain.

I also renamed 'arm-32' to the more meaningfull 'armv7' in the Makefile

Fix a minor bug in search

As Joona says: "The problem is that when doing full
window search (-VALUE_INFINITE, VALUE_INFINITE), and
pruning all the moves will return fail low which is
mate score, because only clause touching alpha is
"mate distance pruning". So we are returning mate score
although we are just pruning all the moves. In reality
there probably is no mate in sight.

Bug spotted and fixed by Joona.
