Chess engine: Eubos 3.4 (java engine)

Eubos - a basic Java chess engine, written for kicks. Uses jcpi for the UCI protocol parts. Kind of weak, doesn't evaluate for king safety, for example. Now uses transpostion hashing, but because it runs in the Java VM on a bog standard PC, doesn't search very deeply (around 100K Nodes/s, though this is actually quite hard to evaluate due to the hashing).

Tweaks to time management strategy. Now uses more time earlier in the game. Also responds immediately when a forced move must be played. Minor refactors to some of the timing and validation code.
