[chtsvhlr] Mapreduce completed endgame tablebase

Provide a service to run arbitrary programs analyzing a large chess endgame tablebase, probably too large for a typical user to have locally.  Probably MapReduce, so a loadable public database hosted in the cloud.

Inspiration is, you've written a compact endgame engine.  Which positions does it get wrong?

MapReduce can also be used to generate the tablebase.
