Use reference instead of pointer for pop_lsb() signature

This patch changes the pop_lsb() signature from Square pop_lsb(Bitboard*) to
Square pop_lsb(Bitboard&). This is more idomatic for C++ style signatures.

Passed a non-regression STC test:
LLR: 2.93 (-2.94,2.94) {-1.25,0.25}
Total: 21280 W: 1928 L: 1847 D: 17505
Ptnml(0-2): 71, 1427, 7558, 1518, 66

We have verified that the generated binary is identical on gcc-10.
