noobpwnftw 0d6cdc0c6d Implement yielding loop while waiting for input
Some MPI implementations use busy-wait pooling, which will turn MPI_Bcast into busy-wait loop, workaround with our own yielding loop.

noobpwnftw 80afeb0d3b Fix consistency between PV and bestmove output
In case that a non-root mainThread on a node is the new best thread in the cluster, it should always output its PV.

noobpwnftw 2405b38165 Fix search result aggregation
This reverts my earlier change that only the root node gets to output best move after fixing problem with MPI_Allreduce by our custom operator(BestMoveOp). This function is not commutable and we must ensure that its output is consistent among all nodes.

noobpwnftw 8a95d269eb Implement proper stop signalling from root node
Previous behavior was to wait on all nodes to finish their search on their own TM and aggregate to root node via a blocking MPI_Allreduce call. This seems to be problematic.

In this commit a proper non-blocking signalling barrier was implemented to use TM from root node to control the cluster search, and disable TM on all non-root nodes.

Also includes some cosmetic fix to the nodes/NPS display.

Omri Mor 29c166a072 MPI/Cluster implementation for Stockfish
Based on Peter Österlund's "Lazy Cluster" algorithm,
but with some simplifications.
To compile, point COMPCXX to the MPI C++ compiler wrapper (mpicxx).
