caliper: fixup boilerplate (and some coding style and whitespace)
The caliper decoder was written against an older version of the library
and failed to load in recent environments. Fixup the decoder boilerplate
(eliminate ambiguous annotation class/row names, drop the IC tag) and
address other style nits while we are here (rephrase user visible text,
break a few long lines, adjust some of the indentation and whitespace
issues, drop dead code). Remaining issues get addressed later.
