Change definition of between_bb()

We remark that in current master, most of our use cases for between_bb() can be
optimized if the second parameter of the function is added to the segment. So we
change the definition of between_bb(s1, s2) such that it excludes s1 but includes s2.

We also use a precomputed array for between_bb() for another small speed gain
(see https://tests.stockfishchess.org/tests/view/604d09f72433018de7a389fb).
