Make base64_decode() check actual decoded length

base64_decode() was applying an overly conservative check on the
output buffer length that could incorrectly produce an error if the
input encoding contained padding or newlines.  Fix this by checking
the output buffer length against the actual decoded length produced
during decoding.
