<id>urn:sha1:9a013b7c68f94e6be0fe8748c9012a441fe0273f</id>
<content type='text'>
With this commit we re-structure how the node expansion in the
H48 solution search works to allow prefetching of pruning values,
showing performance improvements in the range of 30-45% on x86,
depending on table size and solution length.

A small bug fix related to appending solutions is included in this commit.

<id>urn:sha1:147b0c3c4615c32478a4923242909b8ae5a30d03</id>
<content type='text'>
This commit fixes two bugs:
  - A bug that caused duplicates solutions for symmetric scrambles.
  - An overflow in the maxsols parameter for the H48 solver, which
    caused it to find much fewer solutions than existed.

Moreover, the H48 solvers has been improved by reducing by symmetry not
only from the starting position, but also up to the first 4 moves.

I found out that this gives undefined behavior when then size is 0.
Better not to have it at all, it is confusing for other developers anyway.

Before this committ, the solver (via the generic solution-appender
routines in src/solve/solutions.h) and the H48 data generator did some
logging in the worker threads, without using any locks. This was not nice,
but in practice it did not cause any problem, because the log messages
were rare.

However, this turned out to be a problem when building to WASM, because
web workers do not have access to the main JS memory, and therefore
they cannot call functions from the main JS. This includes not only the
callback functions for logging, but also those for polling the status
of the solver (run / pause / stop).

This commit fixes this at the cost or being somewhat inelegant: the
solutions are not logged as they are found, but only every 500ms.

Now the side that has more moves is written first.
For example: write (U L F) B instead of B (U L F)

This also fixes the test on appendsolutions, which used an older version
of the function's signature.
