perf: Eliminate double-fetching in semantic search sampling

Browse Source 
Performance optimization that removes redundant verification step and
makes content fetching parallel in nc_semantic_search_answer tool.

Changes:
- Remove verification.py module (only had 1 caller)
- Refactor nc_semantic_search to do inline deduplication instead of
  calling verify_search_results()
- Migrate verification patterns (anyio task group, semaphore limiting)
  to nc_semantic_search_answer's content fetching
- Change content fetching from sequential loop to parallel execution

Performance impact:
- Before: 10 API calls (5 parallel verification + 5 sequential content)
  = ~5.5s overhead
- After: 5 API calls (parallel content fetch) = ~0.5s overhead
- Result: 50% fewer API calls, ~10x faster for sampling operations

Technical details:
- Uses anyio.create_task_group() for structured concurrency
- Semaphore limiting (max_concurrent=20) prevents connection pool exhaustion
- Index-based storage maintains result ordering
- Expected failures (deleted notes) logged at debug level
- Deduplication handles hybrid search returning same doc from dense + sparse
