[computer-go] RAVE bias doesn't matter much

I ran some experiments to see if the RAVE bias parameter has a strong effect. It turns out that it doesn't as long as it's in the right order of magnitude.

Of course, your mileage may vary.

In the chart below, the X axis is actually b^2 / (0.5 * 0.5) in Silver's formula. These are experiments against GNU Go, 9x9 games, giving Orego 1 second per move.
