Clovis III dev.5d50 JA - new version chess engine


Clovis - UCI chess engine.
Rating Chess Engines Diary CEDR=2885

Named after the first king of the Franks and the paleoamerican mammoth slayers, Clovis is a powerful UCI chess engine written in C++. It is a successor to [Hopper Chess](https://github.com/jonathanmcdermid/Hopper-Chess-Engine) in that it follows standard convention more closely. 

v.III:
Clovis is born again!

implemented gradient descent tuner
disabled drawishness and some other evaluation functions until they are integrated into tuner
added some params to evaluation (candidate passer, rook on seventh)
vertically mirrored some PSQTs
Expecting a ~50 Elo improvement from Clovis II!
