lidraughts-bot now supports DXP engines.

You can either have the engine opened or lidraughts-bot will open it if it can be opened from the command line. A lot more engines support the DXP protocol (see www.fmjd.org/?p=progs), so hopefully we will more variety in the engines the bots use. The DXP protocol does not support increment so the engine will play a game like it has no increment. It is preferable to use the Hub protocol over the DXP because of this.

It was tested using Scan (scan.exe dxp). The DXP engine communication is based on github.com/akalverboer/DXC100_draughts_client.
