Can we keep the optional error for a non-1/4/5 length segment?
My code will be slightly out of spec since we'll eat the , as a 0 value and continue reading values from the next segment. I see if I can instead limit my position to < commaIndex without adding more checks.

This PR extracts a 'decode a list of base64 VLQ' algorithm that consumes a string wholly and returns all contained VLQ numbers as a list. We can share this algorithm between decoding
mappingsandoriginalScopes/generatedRangesof the scopes proposal.It also makes the algorithm slightly more readable as we can get rid of
positionand we don't necessarily need therelative*variables as they only have a single use-site.
