Wire NNUE eval into real search path; fix critical perf regression

Load-and-call infra: export_nnue_weights.py-produced weight files can
now be loaded at runtime (nnueeval.c's NnueLoadWeights, "nnue load"
command, --nnueweights CLI flag for scripted match-play), and the FC
head (NnueForward) runs the real forward pass against the live
accumulator.

Real integration: Eval() now short-circuits to NnueForward when
g_fUseNnueEval && g_fNnueWeightsLoaded, so ./typhoon can actually play
on the NNUE eval -- ./eval_tune/test_vs_head.sh works unmodified to
compare it against the old HCE. ReInitializeSearcherContext (root.c)
gained a defensive accumulator recompute hook covering setboard's
downstream effect on the next go/ponder; it only fires when both
kings are validly placed, since testrecogn.c's synthetic positions
don't always have one at the moment this is called.

Critical fix: the NNUE accumulator maintenance added to move.c's 8
primitives (and MakeMove/UnmakeMove's king-move backup/restore) was
running unconditionally, on the mistaken assumption this was cheap.
It cost ~50% of engine throughput even with NNUE off (673k nps
measured vs the expected 1.4-1.5M baseline). Gated all of it behind
g_fUseNnueEval; classic HCE is back to ~1.52M nps, NNUE eval runs at
a fair ~409k nps (expected for an unquantized float32 forward pass).

This gating also exposed that testnnue.c's TestNnueAccumulator never
set g_fUseNnueEval, so its own direct NnueAccumRecompute calls raced
ahead of now-gated-off incremental maintenance; fixed by having the
test set/restore the flag around its run.

board.c: added en passant legality check to IsBoardLegal (rank vs
side-to-move, origin-square occupancy) -- a real, previously-latent
bug surfaced while building the NNUE test fixtures, unrelated to
NNUE itself.

+/**
+
+Routine description:
+
+    This function implements the 'nnue' engine command.
+
+    Usage:
+
+        nnue load <filename>
+        nnue eval
+
+    'load' reads a weights file exported by annotate_pgns/
+    export_nnue_weights.py (NnueLoadWeights, nnueeval.c). 'eval'
+    recomputes both color's accumulators from scratch against the
+    current position -- not relying on any incremental-maintenance
+    history, since this command exists to validate weight loading
+    and the forward pass (NnueForward), not to exercise the hot
+    MakeMove/UnmakeMove path -- and prints the raw score plus a
+    sigmoid-derived win probability (same K=1.3123 pawns as
+    annotate_pgns/fit_k_and_label.py's Phase A fit).
+
+    Reference-only: not wired into Eval()/search. See docs/NNUE.md.
+
+Parameters:
+
+    The COMMAND macro hides four arguments from the input parser:
+
+        CHAR *szInput : the full line of input
+        ULONG argc    : number of argument chunks
+        CHAR *argv[]  : array of ptrs to each argument chunk
+        POSITION *pos : a POSITION pointer to operate on
+
+Return value:
+
+    void
