[Computer-go] KGS, gogui and handicap stones

[Aja Huang]

A simple solution would be to keep a variable HandicapStone.

In the function of GTP command "play":

If (WhiteNeverPlayed == true)   // WhiteNeverPlayed is initialized to "true"
{
    if (Color == BLACK &&
        Move != PASS)
        HandicapStone += 1.0f;  // HandicapStone  is initialized to 0
    else
        WhiteNeverPlayed = false;
}

Then in the scoring function:

    if (HandicapStone >= 2)
        BlackScore -= (HandicapStone / 2);

I have code that detects several black moves in a  row at the start of the
game, and sets the proper handicap property for the engine.
