Provide vectorized NNUE code for SSE2 and MMX targets

This patch allows old x86 CPUs, from AMD K8 (which the x86-64 baseline
targets) all the way down to the Pentium MMX, to benefit from NNUE with
comparable performance hit versus hand-written eval as on more modern
processors.

NPS of the bench with NNUE enabled on a Pentium III 1.13 GHz (using the
MMX code):

NPS of the bench with NNUE enabled using baseline x86-64 arch, which is
how linux distros are likely to package stockfish, on a modern CPU
(using the SSE2 code):
