Simplify verification search (#1362)

1. avoid recursive call of verification.
   For the interested side to move recursion makes no sense.
   For the other side it could make sense in case of mutual zugzwang,
   but I was not able to figure out any concrete problematic position.
   Allows the removal of 2 local variables.
   
2. avoid further reduction by removing R += ONE_PLY;

Benchmark with zugzwang-suite (see #1338), max 45 secs per position:
Patch  solves 33 out of 37
Master solves 31 out of 37
