* verify.h (GL_CONCAT0, GL_CONCAT): Define unconditionally; don't

depend on whether verify_decl is defined.
(verify): Renamed from verify_decl.  All uses changed.
Use an extern function decl, as it can't possibly collide with other
decls.
(verify_expr): Renamed from verify.  All uses changed.
(verify_type__): New private macro.
(verify, verify_expr): Use it.
