Improve MCTS robustness with exception handling and minimax fixes

This PR enhances the MCTS algorithm with three improvements:

1. **Exception Handling**: Add try-catch blocks in multithreaded MCTS
   iterations (AbstractMCTSAI.cpp:145-180) to gracefully handle exceptions
   without crashing the entire search. If a thread encounters an exception,
   it exits gracefully while other threads continue working.

2. **Minimax Backpropagation Fix**: Correct the minimax backup logic to
   use visitedChildCount instead of checking against sentinel values. This
   improves handling of setup phase transitions where children can have
   different isMaximizingPlayer values.

3. **Debug Output**: Add temporary debug logging for BuildMCTSTree to aid
   in diagnosing multithreading issues.

**Testing:**
- All existing AbstractMCTSAI tests pass
- Exception handling prevents thread crashes during edge cases
- Minimax backpropagation correctly handles setup phase transitions
