chess.h: add POSITION::bbOccupied (full-board occupancy, both colors,
every piece including kings), maintained incrementally alongside
bbPieces/bbPawns rather than rebuilt on demand -- resolves the open
question in EVAL.md section 0 about whether this is worth doing given
both generate.c and the planned eval.c mobility rewrite need it.
move.c: SlidePiece/SlidePawn/LiftPiece/PlacePiece and their
WithoutSigs variants now maintain bbOccupied at the same choke points
that already maintain bbPieces/bbPawns -- unconditionally, since
occupancy doesn't care about piece type or color. Kings only ever
move through SlidePiece/SlidePieceWithoutSigs (never Lift/Place), so
no separate king-specific update site was needed.
fen.c: populate bbOccupied when parsing a FEN.
board.c: VerifyPositionConsistency cross-checks pos->bbOccupied
against a from-scratch rebuild, same pattern already used for
bbPieces/bbPawns.
generate.c/movesup.c/see.c: replace call sites that rebuilt full
occupancy via _BuildFullOccupiedBB/_BuildOccupiedBB with direct reads
of pos->bbOccupied; delete see.c's _BuildOccupiedBB, which was a
byte-for-byte duplicate of generate.c's _BuildFullOccupiedBB (kept
only as the from-scratch ground truth for the new consistency check
and testgenerate.c's benchmark harness).
testsup.c: GenerateRandomLegalPosition builds POSITIONs by poking
rgSquare/bbPieces/bbPawns directly, bypassing both move.c and fen.c --
a third construction path the above missed. It never set bbOccupied,
so the new VerifyPositionConsistency check failed on every generated
position, and since generation retries until a position verifies, the
self-test suite spun forever (100% CPU, no progress) instead of
crashing outright. Fixed by setting bbOccupied at all four placement
sites (both kings, pawn, non-pawn piece). Full self-test suite and
precommit_check.sh verified clean afterward.
board_representation/EVAL.md: record the bbOccupied decision and
rationale, resolving section 0's open question.

redundant pawn-location bitboard
board_representation/EVAL.md: rewritten migration plan for a
bitboard-backed Eval() (mobility ray-walks + bvAttacks replacement),
plus a performance-philosophy section recording the profiling-first,
cut-aggressively-except-mobility/safety-awareness approach agreed on
this session, and findings on CountKingSafetyDefects' structural
inability to share bvAttacks-derived state with _EvalKing.
EVAL_TIME per-term instrumentation (chess.h/eval.c/root.c): breaks
the existing whole-Eval() cycle counter down by pawns/knight/bishop/
rook/queen/king, the always-paid pre-lazy-exit segment, and the
full-eval-only post-lazy segment, printed alongside the existing
"Avg. cpu cycles in eval" line. Diagnostic only (EVAL_TIME-gated),
no effect on the normal release profile.
Drop PAWN_HASH_ENTRY's bbPawnLocations[2]: it duplicated
POSITION's own incrementally-maintained bbPawns[2], rebuilt bit-by-bit
on every pawn-hash miss for no reason. eval.c now reads pos->bbPawns[]
directly; removed a stale per-iteration invariant assert in _EvalPawns
that only made sense when the bitboard was being built bit-by-bit in
that same loop.
