This patch moves the DotProd code into the propagation function which has sequential access optimization. To prove the speedup, the comparison is done without the sparse layer. With the sparse layer the effect is marginal (GCC 0.3%, LLVM/Clang 0.1%). For both tests, binary is compiled with GCC 14.1. Each test had 50 runs. Sparse layer included: ``` speedup = +0.0030 P(speedup > 0) = 1.0000 ``` Sparse layer excluded: ``` speedup = +0.0561 P(speedup > 0) = 1.0000 ``` closes https://github.com/official-stockfish/Stockfish/pull/5520 No functional change
