feat: DDRManager phase 1 - single-slot look-ahead activation prefetch (EXP-0083)

New ddr_prefetch_mgr.v wraps act_tile_fetch.v with a depth-2 ping-pong
buffer, issuing the next tile's DDR3 fetch as soon as the fetch engine
is free instead of waiting for packed_slot.v to finish consuming the
current tile. Wired into packed_slot.v's tile loop (job-level start
instead of per-tile req), simplifying the S_TILEWAIT join in the process
(ddrpf_tile_valid is level-held, no separate act_seen latch needed).

Verification: new tb_ddr_prefetch_mgr.v (25/25 PASS after fixing a real
testbench polling race found via iteration-tagged tracing, not an RTL
bug), tb_packed_slot.v re-run unmodified (9/9 PASS, bit-identical
results), tb_n2_system_ddr3.v re-run via real xsim against real
ddr3_model.sv (8/8 PASS). Real P&R: WNS +0.073ns (up from EXP-0082's
+0.068ns), LUTs 5644, DSP48E1 16 unchanged, 0 failing endpoints.

Honest result: real A/B on the actual DDR3 backend (same testbench,
before/after) shows a real but modest 2.86% reduction in total
simulated time - smaller than the original hypothesis suggested, because
neural_processor_packed.v already accepts one operand per cycle, so the
per-tile dead time being removed was already small relative to real DDR3
fetch latency. Docs updated to report this honestly rather than oversell
it; the larger multi-slot DDRManager is deferred pending re-measurement
against the (still pending, user-gated) 32-bit channel widening.
