Clarify the mapping of files to queenside

Author: @nickpelling

We replace in the code the obscure expressions mapping files ABCDEFGH to ABCDDCBA
by an explicite call to an auxiliary function :

  old:   f = min(f, ~f)
  new:   f = map_to_queenside(f)

We used the Golbolt web site (https://godbolt.org) to find the optimal code
for the auxiliary function.
