Do not interpret CSI ? u as DECRC

The kitty keyboard protocol docs recommend CSI ? u to query support for
that protocol, see https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/keyboard-protocol/

For better or worse, fish shell uses this query to work around bugs
in other terminals triggered by requesting that protocol via CSI = 5 u.

Unfortunately, st interprets CSI ? u as DECRC (restore cursor
position). reproduce with 'printf "\x1b[?u"; cat'.

fish could work around this by switching to the alternate screen
before running this query; but that might cause tearing on terminals
that don't support Synchronized Output. I'm not sure.

In the meantime, let's correct our parser.

This adds a redundant else-after-return, for consistency with the
surrounding code.
