Universal Lenient Base64 Decoder (Go library)

base64dec is a Universal Lenient Base64 Decoder. It's a modified version of the standard base64 decoder from encoding/base64. The key differences are:

  * Accepts both Standard and URL-safe encoding, no need to specify it
    explicitly.
  * Works for both padded and raw inputs.
  * The input can be a string or a []byte, no allocation or copy is
    performed for either.

The goal was to create a decoder compatible with the one used in nodejs (and possibly elsewhere too). Unfortunately the standard package does not expose enough API to do this efficiently, and trying all 4 possible variants (standard/url, padded/raw) seemed wasteful.
