Guarantee complete mate PVs in multiPV analysis This PR introduces the additional `RootMove` attribute `previousPV` so that scores and PVs we send to the GUI in MultiPV analysis always match. This allows us in particular to extend our guarantee of exact mate (and TB win/loss) scores having a complete PV (leading to checkmate in the correct number of plies) to all PV lines. Recall that master fails here, since partially searched root moves may send to the GUI the previous score with the current/modified PV. See #6784. The PR also uses the new attribute to extend the followPV logic to the analysis of sidelines, building on the idea in #6813 by @joergoster.

In SinglePV analysis, the patch is completely nonfunctional. But it is maybe a (small?) slowdown because of the increased size of `RootMove`. I am not sure if there as an elegant way to enrich the class only for MultiPV analysis (but the switch can happen at any time through the UCI interface), or to mitigate the speed penalty in some other way. A local speedup test shows only a small slowdown on my system (but still high error bars): ``` sf_base = 1156928 +/- 1459 (95%) sf_test = 1155885 +/- 1283 (95%) diff = -1043 +/- 1777 (95%) speedup = -0.09021% +/- 0.154% (95%) ``` The PR also adds the new MultiPV mate PV correctness check to the CI. closes https://github.com/official-stockfish/Stockfish/pull/6886 No functional change
