Description
This patch does a few things all-in-one. I can split it up if anybody wants me to.
Most importantly, it fixes the misdecompilation of the case from sam&max script 52 mentioned in the comment at the top of descumm.cpp (The "while" and "else" detection code interference.)
Other than that it:
* Makes us output "arrayXXX[...]" instead of "array-XXX[...]" because that's what we do with all other types of variables and it's easier to compile.
* Makes us output "else if" in places we didn't before.
* Makes us output "var++" and "var--" instead of "var += 1" and "var += -1", since SCUMM doesn't support values other than +/- 1.
* Makes us output "unless (condition)" instead of "if (!(condition))" and "until (condition)" instead of "while (!(condition))" because it's prettier.
* And finally (and most controversially), makes us output the "break" keyword where needed (with it's usual c meaning for breaking out of loops) and turns the current "break()" into "breakHere()" to avoid conflicts with the keyword. It's already called breakHere() in v8, which is why I chose it, but maybe we should change it to "yield()" or something to make the keyword and the function more distinct?
I've got testcases if anybody wants to them.

I forgot to remove a line which caused the ++ and -- not to work. Updated patch attached.
