Chess Engine: Altair 3.0.0

Altair is a uci chess engine that succeeds my old python engine Antares.
Rating CEDR=2969 author: Alexander Tian

v.3.0.0:
This is the third version of Altair. The engine is at an estimated 3000+ Elo and has gained around 160 Elo over the previous version in self-play. Most of the improvements in this version have been from development in Altair's search, with a few evaluation improvements sprinkled in. A huge thanks and acknowledgement to everyone in this Testing Instance for contributing resources and invaluable support to the development of Altair.

Altair now supports multi-threading and the usage of multiple CPUs to make it stronger.
