Reintroduce depth 2 razoring (with additional margin)
The first depth 2 margin triggers the verification quiescence search. This qsearch() result has to be better then the second lower margin, so we only skip the razoring when the qsearch gives a significant improvement.

Reformating the razoring code (step 7 in search()) to unify the depth 1 and depth 2 treatements seems quite possible, this could possibly lead to more simplifications. Bench: 5765806
