```
std.crypto.tls: use a Decoder abstraction

This commit introduces tls.Decoder and then uses it in tls.Client. The
purpose is to make it difficult to introduce vulnerabilities in the
parsing code. With this abstraction in place, bugs in the TLS
implementation will trip checks in the decoder, regardless of the actual
length of packets sent by the other party, so that we can have
confidence when using ReleaseFast builds.
