Add large page support for NNUE weights and simplify TT mem management

Use TT memory functions to allocate memory for the NNUE weights. This
should provide a small speed-up on systems where large pages are not
automatically used, including Windows and some Linux distributions.

Further, since we now have a wrapper for std::aligned_alloc(), we can
simplify the TT memory management a bit:

- We no longer need to store separate pointers to the hash table and
  its underlying memory allocation.
- We also get to merge the Linux-specific and default implementations
  of aligned_ttmem_alloc().

Finally, we'll enable the VirtualAlloc code path with large page
support also for Win32.
