Make engine ONE_PLY value independent

This non-functional change patch is a deep work to allow SF to be independent
from the actual value of ONE_PLY (currently set to 1). I have verified SF is
now independent for ONE_PLY values 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32 and 256.

This patch gives consistency to search code and enables future work, opening
the door to safely tweaking the ONE_PLY value for any reason.

Verified for no speed regression at STC:
LLR: 2.95 (-2.94,2.94) [-3.00,1.00]
Total: 95643 W: 17728 L: 17737 D: 60178

No functional change.
