[computer-go] Elo and handicap matching

[Lavergne Thomas]

If some bot can be setup to play on kgs for enough time to get a solid
rank and then put on cgos to get an elo rating with the same
configuration we could find a formula to convert elo to kgs ranks.
For sure, this is not perfect but I think is good enought.
