f281d151bb bech32: back port improvements from decred/dcrd@9b88dd0
This commit brings a host of improvements to the bech32 package. The
public interface of the package remains unchanged.

Summary of changes:
* Improved error handling using dedicated error types. Programmatically
  detect if the errors produced are the expected ones.
* Improve test coverage to test more corner cases. Added test vectors
  from Bitcoin Core.
* Add a benchmark for a full encode/decode cycle of a bech32 string.
* Add a new function DecodeNoLimit, for decoding large bech32 encoded
  strings. It does NOT validate against the BIP-173 maximum length
  allowed for bech32 strings.
* Automatically convert the HRP to lowercase in Encode function.
* Improve performance of encode/decode functions by using
  strings.Builder.
* Improve memory allocation in ConvertBits function.
* Updated documentation.
