Simplify a condition in refutes()

Better annotate unlikely conditions

And in case of gcc we win also a small
speed optimization due to better branch
prediction.

Don't use __builtin_expect

Partially revert previous patch and use
unlikey() just as code annotation.

Actually it is better to rely on a profiler for branch prediction:

"In fact, even when only one in ten thousand values is nonzero,
we're still at only roughly the break-even point"

Drop grep and tr dependency in Makefile

Use only sed to get the bench signature.

Halve king eval margin

But still keep the same original
margin for score.

Passed both short TC test

Better document what we skip when in check

No functional change.
Rename MoveStack to ExtMove

Stack has no meaning here, while ExtMove (extended move),
better clarifies that we have a move + a score.

Small simplification in space eval scoring

No functional change.
Microptimize gives_check() for castling case

Without patch we have 333198 nps, with patch 334249.

A very small +0.3%, not a lot manily becuase this is a
side path that is taken very few times.

Anyhow idea is correct becuase first 'quick' condition
has an hit rate of about 95%.

Fix signature-build under OSX

On OS X when you use -i an extension for the in-place
substitution a backup files is required.

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4247068/sed-command-failing-on-mac-but-works-on-linux

So rewrite to make sed flushing sign.txt in one go and avoid
using -i option.

Speedup see()

And rename next_attacker() SEE helper

This very simple patch is able to speed up
bench run of almost 2% !

Fix critical SEE bug

It is somewhat unbilievable but our SEE is broken !

If the first SEE move is a king capture and square is
defended then SEE continues instead of breaking.

The bug shows only on normal SEE, not see_sign() so
probing with a:

dbg_hit_on_c(slIndex==1, captured == KING);

reports just a tiny:

Total 3465656 Hits 6646 hit rate (%) 0

Bug was there since 351ef5c85b6d4b9c71e9da of 26/6/2011 (!)
although for some reason didn't show immediately, indeed the
bougous patch was a "No functional change" (!!)

Yet another attempt at signature-build

This one should work on all flavours of sed

Revert all the SEE stuff

The speed up seems to introduce some
functionality change.

Revert to original master for now.

Revert "Fix critical SEE bug (take 2)"

This reverts commit 3e95800814d

For some reason it fails the short TC test:

Rewrite and simplify SEE

This very speed critical code was full of clever (!)
tricks and subtle details.

So I have rewritten it in a more straithforward way
and, as very often happens, result is even faster
than original.
