Crate stockfish

stockfish is a light, easy-to-use wrapper library for the Stockfish chess engine.

• Creation & Setup — Pass the path to the binary executable to Stockfish::new, then call Stockfish::setup_for_new_game to ensure that it is ready for further commands.
• Position — Use methods like Stockfish::set_fen_position and Stockfish::play_moves to configure the chess position that Stockfish is working with.
• Compute — Using methods such as Stockfish::go or Stockfish::go_for, prompt Stockfish to start calculating given the current chess position.
• Output — Accessory types have been included (EngineEval, EvalType, EngineOutput) to structure the output from Stockfish after it has concluded its calculations.
