feat: NCS-9 En passant implementation (#8)
Build & Test (NowChessSystems) TeamCity build finished

- Add EnPassantCalculator to derive the en passant target square from GameHistory, detect en passant captures, and
  compute the captured pawn's square
  - Extend MoveValidator.legalTargets to include the en passant diagonal square in pawn legal targets
  - Extend GameController.processMove to remove the captured pawn from the board when an en passant capture is played

  Details

  En passant is derived purely from the last HistoryMove — no new state is introduced. If the last move was a double
  pawn push, the target square is the square the pawn passed through. The board mutation follows the same pattern as
  castling: board.withMove moves the capturing pawn, then board.removed removes the captured pawn from its actual square
   (which differs from the destination square).

  Test Plan

  - EnPassantCalculatorTest — 14 unit tests covering target derivation, captured square calculation, and capture
  detection for both colors
  - MoveValidatorTest — 5 new tests: ep target included/excluded based on history, adjacency filter, both colors, case _
   branch coverage
  - GameControllerTest — 2 integration tests: white and black en passant capture removes pawn from board and returns
  correct captured piece
  - 100% scoverage (line/branch/method) confirmed
