MadChess 2.0 Beta Build 032 (King Safety)

I added king safety evaluation to MadChess 2.0 Beta. Defects in king protection (missing pawn shield, semi-open files adjacent to king, squares near king attacked by enemy pieces) are counted, then used as an index into a non-linear piece coordination table.

It took me several attempts to calibrate the weights and the non-linear penalty, but eventually I found an improvement. This added 27 Elo to the playing strength of MadChess 2.0 Beta.
