Adds machete, a UCI chess engine written in Mach, under Games and simulation.

It plays in any chess GUI (Arena, Cute Chess, etc.), ships release builds for Windows, Linux and macOS, and evaluates positions with a neural network (NNUE) running on hand-encoded AVX2 kernels. It is named for what it does to a variation tree; Rybka 2.3.2a can confirm.

As far as I can tell this is the first non-first-party entry. Happy to be the canary.
