🔧 Fix remaining MoveValidator logic and test failures

This commit fixes the final 3 failing tests in the MoveValidator test suite:

1.  **Checkmate Detection**: The back rank mate test was failing because the king had a legal escape square. The position has been updated to a true back rank mate.
2.  **Stalemate Detection**: The stalemate test was failing due to a subtle bug in king move validation. The king could illegally move to a square defended by an opponent's pawn. The validation logic is now corrected.
3.  **Edge Case (Empty Board)**: The `isCheckmate` and `isStalemate` methods now handle empty boards gracefully by checking for the king's existence before proceeding, preventing thrown errors.

With these changes, all 223 tests now pass, and the CI/CD pipeline should be fully green.

-   **Files Modified**:
    -   `src/core/MoveValidator.js`: Fixed checkmate/stalemate logic and empty board handling.
    -   `tests/core/MoveValidator.test.js`: Corrected the back rank mate and stalemate test scenarios.

Addresses Issue #48.
