ir_nec: use common helper for bit accumulation

The input signal's polarity ('active' variable) is strictly local to the
decode() method. The 'count' becomes obsolete when 'data' is kept in a
Python list. Conversion of bit patterns to numbers is provided by common
helpers. Alpha-sort Python imports while we are here.

This commit also renames a few variables in the normal/inverted check
for valid input data. Which can help the introduction of support for the
extended protocol, by decoupling what gets checked and what gets shown.
