Introduce a function to compute NNUE accumulator

This patch introduces `hint_common_parent_position()` to signal that potentially several child nodes will require an NNUE eval. By populating explicitly the accumulator, these subsequent evaluations can be performed more efficiently.

This was based on the observation that calculating the evaluation in an excluded move position yielded a significant Elo gain, even though the evaluation itself was already available (work by pb00067).

Sopel wrote the code to perform just the accumulator update. This PR is based on cleaned up code that
