Use threads to clear the TT faster.

Stockfish currently takes a while to clear the TT when using larger hash sizes.

On one machine with 128 GB hash it takes about 50 seconds with a single thread,
allowing it to use all allocated cores brought that time down to 4 seconds on
some Linux systems. The patch was further tested on Windows and refined with
NUMA binding of the hash initializing threads (we refer to pull request #1601
for the complete discussion and the speed measurements).

Closes https://github.com/official-stockfish/Stockfish/pull/1601
