Bug fix in do_null_move() and NNUE simplification. This fixes #3108 and removes some NNUE code that is currently not used. At the moment, do_null_move() copies the accumulator from the previous state into the new state, which is correct. It then clears the "computed_score" flag because the side to move has changed, and with the other side to move NNUE will return a completely different evaluation (normally with changed sign but also with different NNUE-internal tempo bonus). The problem is that do_null_move() clears the wrong flag. It clears the computed_score flag of the old state, not of the new state. It turns out that this almost never affects the search. For example, fixing it does not change the current bench (but it does change the previous bench). This is because the search code usually avoids calling evaluate() after a null move. This PR corrects do_null_move() by removing the computed_score flag altogether. The flag is not needed because nnue_evaluate() is never called twice on a position. This PR also removes some unnecessary {}s and inserts a few blank lines in the modified NNUE files in line with SF coding style.
