fix(compression): insert DECODE per consumer for alt decompression memory

Insert a separate DECODE immediately before each consumer of a
compressed tensor, rather than sharing one DECODE output among all
consumers.

The interpreter's alternate decompression memory resets its allocation
offset for each DECODE's Prepare, causing all DECODE outputs to be
allocated at the same address. If two consumers share one DECODE and
another DECODE runs between them, the intervening DECODE overwrites the
shared output, corrupting data for the second consumer.

Update test expectations to reflect the new DECODE-per-consumer
behavior and change the integration test from expected-failure to
expected-pass.
