Following facebook/zstd#2545, I noticed that one field in `seq_t` is
optional, and only used in combination with prefetching. (This may have
contributed to static analyzer failure to detect correct
initialization).
I then wondered if it would be possible to rewrite the code so that this
optional part is handled directly by the prefetching code rather than
delegated as an option into `ZSTD_decodeSequence()`.
This resulted into this refactoring exercise where the prefetching
responsibility is better isolated into its own function and
`ZSTD_decodeSequence()` is streamlined to contain strictly Sequence
decoding operations. Incidently, due to better code locality, it
reduces the need to send information around, leading to simplified
interface, and smaller state structures.
