options: default to --prefetch-playlist=yes
--prefetch-playlist improves performance by starting to read the next file in the last second or playback or while viewing an image. This is obviously noticeable with playlists of direct media URLs, but can also make a difference on local slow hardware, mainly large (in bytes) images on HDDs. You can easily see the difference with 10+ MB images. Since e7a2536 and 24db17d fixed niche issues, and it's known not to cause other issues by users using since 2017 who haven't reported issues, enable it by default to improve performance. The only flaw is that it doesn't support ytdl-hook URLs, so in Youtube playlist, it does a web request with ffmpeg that is doomed to fail since the last second of playback, though this doesn't cause practical disadvantages.
