lc5: count network value on node at install (8f890b1e) vs parent 035c5b78

lc5 roadmap step 2: finish ready and in-flight backups on stop (b57536c6) vs step 1 (8f890b1e)

lc5: one shard lookup per selection step (refactor; same output at fixed nodes) vs its parent (revert of step 3 = step 2 code)

Engine-selection check: same commit 035c5b78, dev engine Leela-lc5 (lc5 search) vs base engine Leela (classic search).

lc5: grow the live visit limit with the tree (ActiveVisitsRatio) Admission stops while live visits reach 16 + ActiveVisitsRatio * root visits (default 0.25), capped by MaxActiveVisits, like classic search's collision scaling. Previously a fresh search admitted all visits at once; they waited on the root and then spread over its children by prior alone. On 80 positions where lc5's game move disagreed with classic at 40k nodes, the share of fresh searches matching classic's move at 256-1024 nodes rose from 28-31% to 38-40% (classic itself: 39%), and was unchanged at 16k-32k. Visits per 300 ms are unaffected.

lc5: smart pruning, in-search two-fold draws, fewer visits in flight - Stop early when the most visited root move cannot be overtaken by the estimated remaining visits (SmartPruningFactor, default 1.33); unused time is added to the next move's budget. - Score two-fold repetitions whose cycle lies within the search as draws, without marking the root-dependent graph node terminal. - Lower the automatic MaxActiveVisits to max(256, 1.5 * EvalThreads * MinibatchSize). With 1024 visits in flight, a ~5k-visit move was badly diluted: at 10+0.1 vs classic, 1024 scored 6-0-18 for lc0, 256 scored 1-0-23. - Add RestartWaiters (default off): woken waiters select again from the root instead of continuing below the newly evaluated node.
