New NNUE architecture and net

Introduces a new NNUE network architecture and associated network parameters,
as obtained by a new pytorch trainer.

The network is already very strong at short TC, without regression at longer TC,
and has potential for further improvements.

The network has been trained (by vondele) using the https://github.com/glinscott/nnue-pytorch/ trainer (started by glinscott),
specifically the branch https://github.com/Sopel97/nnue-pytorch/tree/experiment_56.
The data used are in 64 billion positions (193GB total) generated and scored with the current master net

This network also contains a few architectural changes with respect to the current master:

    Size changed from 256x2-32-32-1 to 512x2-16-32-1
        ~15-20% slower
        ~2x larger
        adds a special path for 16 valued ClippedReLU
        fixes affine transform code for 16 inputs/outputs, buy using InputDimensions instead of PaddedInputDimensions
            this is safe now because the inputs are processed in groups of 4 in the current affine transform code
    The feature set changed from HalfKP to HalfKAv2
        Includes information about the kings like HalfKA
        Packs king features better, resulting in 8% size reduction compared to HalfKA
    The board is flipped for the black's perspective, instead of rotated like in the current master
    PSQT values for each feature
        the feature transformer now outputs a part that is fowarded directly to the output and allows learning piece values more directly than the previous network architecture. The effect is visible for high imbalance positions, where the current master network outputs evaluations skewed towards zero.
        8 PSQT values per feature, chosen based on (popcount(pos.pieces()) - 1) / 4
        initialized to classical material values on the start of the training
    8 subnetworks (512x2->16->32->1), chosen based on (popcount(pos.pieces()) - 1) / 4
        only one subnetwork is evaluated for any position, no or marginal speed loss

A diagram of the network is available: https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/8037982/118656988-553a1700-b7eb-11eb-82ef-56a11cbebbf2.png
