decodetree: Fix codegen for non-overlapping group inside overlapping group

For nested groups like:

  {
    [
      pattern 1
      pattern 2
    ]
    pattern 3
  }

the intended behaviour is that patterns 1 and 2 must not
overlap with each other; if the insn matches neither then
we fall through to pattern 3 as the next thing in the
outer overlapping group.

Currently we generate incorrect code for this situation,
because in the code path for a failed match inside the
inner non-overlapping group we generate a "return" statement,
which causes decode to stop entirely rather than continuing
to the next thing in the outer group.

Generate a "break" instead, so that decode flow behaves
as required for this nested group case.
