Subject: [PATCH] Add UCI_Elo support to CuckooChess

If both "Strength" and "UCI_Elo" is used, "UCI_Elo" tases precedence.

Internally UCI_Elo is converted to a Strength value using a lookup
table that was calculated by playing games against Stockfish 11 using
its UCI_Elo implementation. The time control was 60+0.6 on computers
where Stockfish bench reported about 1.73e6 NPS.
