L1/L2 friendly PhaseTable[]
In Movepicker c'tor we access during initialization one of MainSearchPhaseIndex..QsearchWithoutChecksPhaseIndex globals. Postpone definition of PhaseTable[] just after them so that when PhaseTable[] will be accessed later in get_next_move() it will be already present in L1/L2. It works like an implicit prefetching of PhaseTable[]. Also shrink PhaseTable[] to fit an L1 cache line of 16 bytes using uint8_t instead of int. This apparentely innocuous patch gives an astonish speed up of 1.6% under MSVC 2010 beta, pgo optimized ! No functional change. Signed-off-by: Marco Costalba <mcostalba@gmail.com>
