Returns scores for moves.

Parameters

• board_data A string of 42 characters representing a 6x7 board (going left to right, top to bottom). For backwards compatibility, a non-standard 7x7 board is supported.
• player (optional) Which player (1 or 2) to find moves for. Default is player 1.

Returns a JSON object mapping the column of the move (zero-based, so 0 is the left-most column and 6 is the right-most) to a score.
