Fix Chess960 regression
Introduced by me in before 1.9 and found by Tord that says:
The 'isChess960' slot in the 'Position' class is currently
set depending on the initial files of the rooks, and not on the value
of the UCI_Chess960 parameter. This is incorrect, as there are lots of
Chess960 positions where the rooks start on the usual files. As a
consequence (unless I am missing something), Stockfish will occasionally
output castling moves as e1g1/e1c1 rather than the correct e1h1/e1a1 format
in Chess960 games. It is possible that some or even most GUIs are robust
enough to accept both notations, but I wouldn't bet on it. And in any case,
Stockfish's behavior clearly violates the protocol.

Remove dubious castle detector
It was introduced by patch
66d16592 of 22/3/2009 merging
from Glarurung iPhone.
Tord says:
That change is only found in the Glaurung iPhone app, and not
in the latest Glaurung UCI source code. I don't remember why
this was added (and the iPhone app, unlike the UCI engine,
was never version controlled), but it was almost certainly
because it was somehow needed in the communication between
the engine and the iPhone GUI, and that it was never meant to be
included in the UCI engine. My guess is that it has something to
do with castling moves being entered as e1-g1 in the GUI, but
represented as e1-h1 in the chess engine.
Removing it in Stockfish should be completely safe, and won't harm
the iPhone version. Initially the iPhone GUI called functions in the
chess engine for checking for legality of moves, writing the move
list in SAN format, and various other tasks, but this is no longer
the case in the current version.

Fix bestmove output in multi PV case
When MultiPV > 1, always take bestmove from the RootMoveList

Fix 'generation' type to uint8_t
When we store this value in TT we cut this to 9 bits,
so we need a smaller variable otherwise comparisons
like:
replace->generation() == generation
Are always false if generation is bigger then the maximum
TT storable value.
This fixes a very nasty and difficult to spot bug (2 weeks for
regression hunting).
