Before my patch (not this one, but
http://git.qemu.org/qemu.git/commit/?id=14eb8b6829ad9dee7035de729e083844a425f274
), we looped from the last encoding to the first (for (i = n_encodings
- 1; i >= 0; i--)), so the code was ok.

Commit 14eb8b6829ad9dee7035de729e083844a425f274 was wrong because I
wanted `if (encoding == -1) encoding = enc`, not
`if (encoding != -1) encoding = enc`. With the current code the
encoding will never be set and will always be -1.

And this patch (refactor set_encoding) is also wrong, because it will
only set the first encoding (which is in fact the last, because we
start from the end of the array).

I believe that the right thing to do is to revert
14eb8b6829ad9dee7035de729e083844a425f274 and add some comments to
explain why we loop in reverse order.
