ctak - An implementation of Tak and a computer opponent in C

48 hours	Welcome geminict!	tslil clingman
	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.
48 hours	More towel wringing: re-implemented check_road_colour	tslil clingman
	Previously check_win would call check_road_colour once for each road colour, and check_road_colour would call a depth-first search (DFS) for each of the two axes. This meant that we were doing (up to) four depth-first searches for each call of check_win. I have replaced both axial DFS with the world's worst TM implementation of a connected component generation algorithm backed by the least guaranteed disjoint set data structure. Essentially doing anything about union find correctly is slower than just ... not doing it. Although we lose the asymptotic complexity, in practice we're doing this millions of times per turn, for a fixed board size and that's what matters. All in all, it appears that i've managed to shave about 69ns off check_win, per call -- nice! This amounts to 50ms or so saved at depth 5 per engine move, in one of my test games. Unfortunately nearly 99% of the time is still taken by evaluating the convolutional neural network. It's slow.
48 hours	Fix copyright notice in files, and small preemptive optimisation	tslil clingman
	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.
