EVP_DecodeUpdate() should not produce zeros for input padding `=` signs to avoid writing to non-allocated memory regions.
To achieve this:
- Add `eof` parameter to `evp_decodeblock_int` function in `openssl/crypto/evp`. The parameter should either contain the number of the input padding characters to ignore or `-1` if the function has to count them.
- Use precalculated `eof` in `EVP_DecodeUpdate` to fix its behaviour.
- Use `eof = -1` in `EVP_DecodeFinal` to count it in `evp_decodeblock_int`.
- Do not ignore padding in `EVP_DecodeBlock` (`eof = 0`) because it should write padding zeros according to the documentation.
- Add the HISTORY section to EVP_EncodeInit documentation to describe the fix.
Other changes:
- Update AUTHORS.md
- Update the copyright date in the documentation.

Also improve related documentation.
- The BIO_FLAGS_BASE64_NO_NL flag did not behave as advertised, only
leading and trailing, but not internal, whitespace was supported:
$ echo 'AA AA' | openssl base64 -A -d | wc -c
0
- Switching from ignored leading input to valid base64 input misbehaved
when the length of the skipped input was one more than the length of
the second and subsequent valid base64 lines in the internal 1k
buffer:
$ printf '#foo\n#bar\nA\nAAA\nAAAA\n' | openssl base64 -d | wc -c
0
- When the underlying BIO is retriable, and a read returns less than
1k of data, some of the already buffered input lines that could have
been decoded and returned were retained internally for a retry by the
caller. This is somewhat surprising, and the new code decodes as many
of the buffered lines as possible. Issue reported by Michał Trojnara.
- After all valid data has been read, the next BIO_read(3) should
return 0 when the input was all valid or -1 if an error was detected.
This now occurs in more consistently, but further tests and code
refactoring may be needed to ensure this always happens.

Explicitly documents that *_free(NULL) does nothing.
Fixes two cases where that wasn't true.
Fixes#24675.

I tried hard to keep the lines at 80 characters or less, but in a few
cases I had to punt and just indented the subsequent lines by 4 spaces.
A few well-placed typedefs for callback functions would really help, but
these would be part of the API, so that's probably for later.
I also took the liberty of inserting empty lines in overlong blocks to
provide some visual space.
