Internal package for haitaka

This package defines the core data types used in haitaka. It's not intended as stand-alone library (though nothing will prevent you from using it like that).

Splitting off the data types into a separate crate allows haitaka to run a build script to generate slider move hash tables used in move generation based on magic bitboard. Without a separate crate to run against the build script would have to duplicate quite a bit of code or the library would need a separate initialization function -- either as a hidden, lazy initialization or as an explicit initialization step. Both those alternatives are less than ideal.

Setting up a separate crate also ensures a clearer separation of concerns making the codebase easier to maintain, test, and extend.
