Remove dead code in search

Browse source 
We can never have bestValue == -VALUE_INFINITE at
the end of move loop because if no legal move exists
we detect it with previous condition on !moveCount,
if a legal move exists we never prune it due to
futility pruning condition:

bestValue > VALUE_MATED_IN_MAX_PLY

So this code never executes, as I have also verified
directly.

Issue reported by Joona.

No functional change.
