Replace ctx->uPositional with a data-calibrated Eval() return value.
uPositional was a per-thread EWMA of abs(material - true score) used to size lazy-eval and futility margins. It was history-derived (reflecting whatever recent, unrelated positions looked like) rather than derived from the position actually being margined, and its update/consumption was tangled with EVAL_HASH (now disabled). Eval() now takes an optional SCORE *piPositional out-param and fills it in on every return path: exact (abs(material-delta)) on a full eval, or an estimate from a new EstimatePositionalScore() on a lazy exit. EstimatePositionalScore()'s two terms (king-safety-defect-bucketed, and a flat residual for mobility/passers/everything else) are calibrated from ~1.6M measured full-eval samples (p90 of the actual swing), not guessed -- an initial guessed version measurably regressed ECM solve rate (630 vs a 650 baseline at sn=4M); the recalibrated version is back at parity (649/879). search.c's qsearch futility now reads the value Eval() just computed instead of the stale/shared ctx field. Also removes QSearchInDangerNoStandPat and SideCanStandPat, dead since the danger-hash check that fed them was already commented out (e08387a) -- they depended on the same enprise/ trapped-piece data this conversation is about to move off of g_PositionHash entirely.
