Refactor BER decoder into a suspendable coroutine
The goal of this change is to make the decoder stopping on input
data starvation and resuming from where it stopped whenever the
caller decides to try again (hopefully making sure that some more
input becomes available).
This change makes it possible for the decoder to operate on streams
of data (meaning that the entire DER blob might not be immediately
available on input).
On top of that, the decoder yields partially reconstructed ASN.1
object on input starvation making it possible for the caller to
inspect what has been decoded so far and possibly consume partial
ASN.1 data.
All these new feature are natively available through
`StreamingDecoder` class. Previously published API is implemented
as a thin wrapper on top of that ensuring backward compatibility.
