move notifications not conforming to Winboard 2 protocol

[Alex Ignácio da Silva]

Hi all,

GNU Chess is notifying its moves as:

My move is: <MOVE>

whereas according to the Winboard 2 protocol specification (see
http://www.tim-mann.org/xboard/engine-intf.html#9) it should be:

move <MOVE>

The following patch to iterate.c corrects the problem:
