An object representing en passant information.
This is an internal class, you should not normally need.
If EnPassant::exists() returns true, then a pawn exists that can be taken en passant, or could be taken en passant if an enemy pawn was standing next to it. This means that in 'position setup mode', placing a pawn next to the en passant pawn (on index EnPassant::pawn_index()) will be able to take the en passant pawn.
