Mmap embed binary (#88)

Writes decompressed net files to a folder called Monty in the temp directory, so they can be mmap-ed (shared between seperate Monty instances). This also eliminates the decompression time after the first load. Old nets get automatically cleaned up so there is only ever one copy of the policy/value net in the folder at any point.

No functional change.
