prefetch the TT entry as soon as the move is known
Worker::do_move computes the successor hash key via the new Position::key_after(m) and prefetches the TT entry one full do_move earlier than the existing prefetch in Position::do_move. key_after does not model castling, en passant or promotion keys exactly; for rare moves the prefetch lands on an unused line. `key_after` has been around since 2014 (https://github.com/official-stockfish/Stockfish/commit/82d065b0) and was removed in (https://github.com/official-stockfish/Stockfish/pull/5770). Adding back `prefetch_key` helps in common, normal moves at the cost of extra compute.
