IR: let all protocol decoders have a go at raw data

  The mceusb driver I'm about to submit handles just about any raw IR you
can throw at it. The ir-core loads up all protocol decoders, starting
with NEC, then RC5, then RC6. RUN_DECODER() was trying them in the same
order, and exiting if any of the decoders didn't like the data. The
default mceusb remote talks RC6(6A). Well, the RC6 decoder never gets a
chance to run unless you move the RC6 decoder to the front of the list.

What I believe to be correct is to have RUN_DECODER keep trying all of
the decoders, even when one triggers an error. I don't think the errors
matter so much as it matters that at least one was successful -- i.e.,
that _sumrc is > 0. The following works for me w/my mceusb driver and
the default decoder ordering -- NEC and RC5 still fail, but RC6 still
gets a crack at it, and successfully does its job.
