Previously the code base assumed that there was a single, global game
state which was the implicit target of all actions taken. Looking
ahead at architectural improvements, this has now been (almost
entirely) made explicit and functions take tak_state_p where
necessary (and also where unnecessary).

Two important fixes to actions.c were made:

- Previously when generating the possible stack moves, stack height
overflows (&gt; 15) were not taken into account and this resulted in the
tree search corrupting the board state. Now action search does not
list all legal actions, rather the subset of these encodeable by the
implementation.

- The check for crushing on a stack move was incorrect (too strict),
and this resulted in many legitimate moves being igonored.

Finally, in other changes, weights have also been improved by training
all games instead of some subset for chosen players, and clang-format
was run on the codebase.

This is a special interface to negamax_cnn1986 which is designed to
generate output for use in a CGI tak interface to be used over gemini.

Also in this commit is a reformating of the various source files to
use the traditional tab width of 8 spaces.

Eventually there'll be a more complicated data generation step than
the one we're presently using, so having it in-lined in the loop is
wasteful. Ideally also this would be update per ply and we could avoid
recalculating it entirely for every query -- though it's probably
``fast enough'' for now. Also, caching is WIP.
