6 daysFix draw-score bug in hash-hit path; centralize as g_iDrawScore[2]Scott Gasch
Search()'s Dieter-Brusser hash-hit-leads-to-draw check only verified that a score of 0 would clear the same alpha/beta bound as the stored iScore -- it didn't establish that iScore itself was accurate. Since playing the hash move actually produces a draw, propagate the draw score upward instead of the stale score computed along a different, non-repeating path. While fixing this, centralized every other place that returned a literal 0 for a draw (search.c's stalemate leaf, searchsup.c's QSearch draw leaf, probe.c's EGTB draw case, which had a dead `// g_iDrawValue[...]` comment suggesting this was intended all along) into a single g_iDrawScore[2] global in draw.c, declared in chess.h. It's indexed by side to move rather than a scalar so a future contempt-factor tweak can bias the draw score per color without touching every call site again; both entries are currently 0, so behavior is unchanged except for the hash-hit bugfix above.
