Retire asm GetAttacks, recogn.c/fen.c bugfixes, misc bugfixes verified at parity

Confirmed self-play regression traced to a stale test_vs_head.sh reference
binary (typhoon_allbitboards/550ea81, deleted): every "vs head" comparison
since 92fc412 (Sep 4) was checking new work against that fixed Sep-4
snapshot, never against real HEAD or the working tree. Rebuilt clean
reference binaries directly from git and re-verified everything from
scratch.

This commit lands only the pieces confirmed safe against clean 434fa04
(fast st1 match, ~30-40 games, score ~0.44-0.55, consistent with parity;
plus a DEBUG-build smoke test pass):

- recogn.c, fen.c: real bugfixes
- data.c, draw.c, ics.c: whitespace only
- x64.asm: retires the asm GetAttacks implementation now that chess.h's
  GetAttacks macro unconditionally selects the already-verified-faster
  _GetAttacksBB bitboard version instead of a three-way build-flag
  toggle (GETATTACKS_BITBOARD/CROUTINES/asm default)
- see.c, testsee.c: SEE/test-harness updates supporting that default
- root.c: per-tier eval-exit reporting (super-lazy counters currently
  always read 0 -- accurate, since no super-lazy exit exists yet)
- main.c: startup banner update, InitEval() call, TestRecogn() added to
  the #ifdef TEST self-test sequence
- command.c: InitEval() DNA-reload hook, new qsearchfutility diagnostic
- dynamic.c: minor changes
- chess.h: the GetAttacks default change above, three
  FUTILITY_BASE_MARGIN_* compatibility aliases (all still equal to the
  original flat FUTILITY_BASE_MARGIN -- search.c has not been split into
  per-tier margins here), placeholder super-lazy counters, and an
  EvalPasserRaces -> _EvalPasserRacesAgainstLoneKings rename (confirmed
  byte-identical body) to match recogn.c's call site
- eval.c: the same rename, plus a no-op InitEval() stub (nothing to
  initialize until the ROOK_FULL_HALF_OPEN_BONUS cache below exists)

Deliberately NOT included: the full eval.c overhaul (~1770 lines) and
search.c's qsearch-futility rework (~650 lines), including yesterday's
loosened SUPER_LAZY_MARGIN_BY_ARMY/FUTILITY_BASE_MARGIN_BY_SOURCE tables.
Reverting just those two tables while keeping the rest of the eval.c
overhaul still lost badly to 434fa04 (0.20 over 10 games), so the
regression isn't fully explained by the margins alone -- the eval.c
overhaul needs careful, incremental re-verification against this commit
as the new baseline, not a bulk re-apply. Full original work preserved in
git stash (stash@{0} as of this commit) for that follow-up.

Note: two pre-existing, position/state-dependent assertion crashes were
found during this verification (util.c:1093 WalkPV, recogn.c:1359
_SanityCheckRecognizers), both reproducing on unmodified 434fa04 -- not
introduced by anything here, not yet root-caused.
