    bio_b64.c: prevent base64 filter BIO from decoding out-of-bound data
    
    Fixes #5405, #1381
    
    The base64 filter BIO reads its input in chunks of B64_BLOCK_SIZE bytes.
    When processing input in PEM format it can happen in rare cases that
    
    - the trailing PEM marker crosses the boundary of a chunk, and
    - the beginning of the following chunk contains valid base64 encoded data.
    
    This happened in issue #5405, where the PEM marker was split into
    "-----END CER" and "TIFICATE-----" at the end of the first chunk.
    
    The decoding of the first chunk terminated correctly at the '-' character,
    which is treated as an EOF marker, and b64_read() returned. However,
    when called the second time, b64_read() read the next chunk and interpreted
    the string "TIFICATE" as valid base64 encoded data, adding 6 extra bytes
    '4c 81 48 08 04 c4'.
    
    This patch restores the assignment of the error code to 'ctx->cont', which
    was deleted accidentally in commit 5562cfaca4f3 and which prevents b64_read()
    from reading additional data on subsequent calls.
    
    This issue was observed and reported by Annie Yousar.
