Rating change seems unfair even with handicap

BUG: Ratings adjustment too big after small board handicap games

OGS has a long-standing bug where the ratings adjustment is…

• too big if white loses and
• too small if white wins

… after a small board handicap game. This is caused by the double-meaning of the word “handicap” as both “number of stones” and “difference in rank”.
