Description
https://github.com/DynamoRIO/dynamorio/pull/5918 exposed the redundancy in some parts of handling encoding conflicts from `codec*.txt` definitions when generating decode/encode logic. We should remove this code from codec.py.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Review PR #5918 and then inspect codec.py alongside the codec*.txt definitions to identify the redundant fallthrough handling for encoding conflicts. Remove only the duplicated logic exposed by that comparison and verify the codec generation paths still produce the expected decode/encode logic.
