Introduce Various Correction histories

This patch introduces three additional correction histories, namely, Major Piece Correction History, Minor Piece Correction History, and Non-Pawn Correction History.

Introduced by @mcthouacbb in Sirius
(https://github.com/mcthouacbb/Sirius) chess engine. The Major Piece Correction History is indexed by side-to-move and the Zobrist key representing the position of the King, Rook, and Queen of both sides.
Likewise, the Minor Piece Correction History is indexed by side-to-move and the Zobrist key representing the position of the King, Knight, and Bishop of both sides.

Introduced by @zzzzz151 in Starzix (https://github.com/zzzzz151/Starzix) chess engine. Non-Pawn correction history consists of side-to-move, side of Zobrist key, and a Zobrist key representing of the position of all non-pawn pieces of **one side**. The non-pawn correction values for both key sides are then summed.

Also See:
https://github.com/zzzzz151/Starzix/commit/34911772f178c27b3a239dda0acb79c397c3a2f0
https://github.com/zzzzz151/Starzix/commit/33e0df8dd2db1d4775974ab12e3390154697f47a

The weights on the final correction value of the above correction histories, as well as existing correction histories, are then tuned in two separate SPSA sessions, totaling 75k games.
