Josh Rickmar dca623d4ef Optimize base58 decoding.
This change introduces an autogenerated base58 digit table to remove
the need to find the index of a character in the modified base58
alphabet each time.  Additionally, it removes some unnecessary big
integer allocations to cut down on the GC churn.
