This PR adds Virtual_Visit, Virtual_Mix and Virtual_Offset as additional Virtual_Styles compared to Virtual_Loss.
The new default is Virtual_Mix which switches from Virtual_Visit to Virtual_Loss when a number of Virtual_Mix_Threshold (default: 1000) has been reached.
Using Virtual_Visit for low number of moves leads to a significant Elo advantage (101.1 +/- 19.4) in low time-control / low number of nodes.

There has been a problem connected to USE960. That's why it has been disabled for now.
Also an initialization problem in first_and_second_max() has been fixed.
