[PATCH 1/2] lib: base64: Fix out-of-bounds potential by respecting dst_len

__decode_base64 generally writes the input in 3 bytes increments,
corresponding to 4 bytes increments in the base64 input buffer. This
means that in order to respect dst_len as the size of the output buffer,
the case of exceeding dst_len within a loop iteration must be
considered.
In such a case, refrain from writing the last one or two bytes if that
write would be past dst_len.
