Richard Levitte 25cf949fc6 ENCODER / DECODER: Add functions to encode/decode to/from a buffer
This adds OSSL_ENCODER_to_data() and OSSL_DECODER_from_data().  These
functions allow fairly simple rewrites of type-specific i2d and d2i
calls.

=head1 NAME
OSSL_DECODER_from_data,
OSSL_DECODER_from_bio,
OSSL_DECODER_from_fp
- Routines to perform a decoding
=head1 SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/decoder.h>
int OSSL_DECODER_from_bio(OSSL_DECODER_CTX *ctx, BIO *in);
int OSSL_DECODER_from_fp(OSSL_DECODER_CTX *ctx, FILE *fp);
int OSSL_DECODER_from_data(OSSL_DECODER_CTX *ctx, const unsigned char **pdata,
size_t *pdata_len);
Feature availability macros:
=over 4
=item OSSL_DECODER_from_fp() is only available when B<OPENSSL_NO_STDIO>
is undefined.

=head1 DESCRIPTION
OSSL_DECODER_from_data() runs the decoding process for the context I<ctx>,
with input coming from I<*pdata>, I<*pdata_len> bytes long. Both I<*pdata>
and I<*pdata_len> must be non-NULL. When OSSL_DECODER_from_data() returns,
I<*pdata> is updated to point at the location after what has been decoded,
and I<*pdata_len> to have the number of remaining bytes.
OSSL_DECODER_from_bio() runs the decoding process for the context I<ctx>,
with the input coming from the B<BIO> I<in>. Should it make a difference,
it's recommended to have the BIO set in binary mode rather than text mode.
OSSL_DECODER_from_fp() does the same thing as OSSL_DECODER_from_bio(),
except that the input is coming from the B<FILE> I<fp>.
=head1 RETURN VALUES
OSSL_DECODER_from_bio() and OSSL_DECODER_from_fp() return 1 on success, or 0
on failure.
