```
translate-c: wrap switch statements in a while (true) loop

This allows `break` statements to be directly translated from the original C.
Add a break statement as the last statement of the while loop to ensure we
don't have an infinite loop if no breaks / returns are hit in the switch.

Fixes #8387

```
