Permute master net weights to increase sparsity

Activation data collection using https://github.com/AndrovT/Stockfish/commit/ac468039ab544b03ad9a22c859a4217729c10a77 run as

bench 16 1 13 varied_1000.epd depth NNUE log.bin

on FENs from https://gist.github.com/AndrovT/7eae6918eb50764227e2bafe7938953c.

Permutation found using https://gist.github.com/AndrovT/359c831b7223c637e9156b01eb96949e.
Uses a greedy algorithm that goes sequentially through the output positions and
chooses a neuron for that position such that the number of nonzero quartets is the smallest.

Net weights permuted using https://gist.github.com/AndrovT/9e3fbaebb7082734dc84d27e02094cb3.
