encoding/base32: Fix decode implementation per RFC 4648

Rework base32.decode() to properly handle all cases per RFC 4648:

- Fix error detection order:
  - Check minimum length first (Invalid_Length)
  - Check character validity (Invalid_Character)
  - Check padding and structure (Malformed_Input)

- Fix padding validation:
  - Add required padding length checks (2=6, 4=4, 5=3, 7=1 chars)
  - Ensure padding only appears at end
  - Fix handling of unpadded inputs

- Fix buffer handling:
  - Proper output buffer size calculation
  - Add bounds checking for buffer access
  - Add proper buffer validation

For example:
- "M" correctly returns Invalid_Length (too short)
- "mzxq====" correctly returns Invalid_Character (lowercase)
- "MZXQ=" correctly returns Malformed_Input (wrong padding)
- Unpadded input lengths must be multiples of 8

These changes make the decode function fully compliant with RFC 4648
requirements while providing proper error handling.
