New Feature: Decoding

Sometimes secrets are encoded in a way that can make them difficult to find
with just regex. Now you can tell gitleaks to automatically find and decode
encoded text. The flag --max-decode-depth enables this feature (the default
value "0" means the feature is disabled by default).

Recursive decoding is supported since decoded text can also contain encoded
text. The flag --max-decode-depth sets the recursion limit. Recursion stops
when there are no new segments of encoded text to decode, so setting a really
high max depth doesn't mean it will make that many passes. It will only make as
many as it needs to decode the text. Overall, decoding only minimally increases
scan times.

The findings for encoded text differ from normal findings in the following
ways:

• The location points the bounds of the encoded text
  • If the rule matches outside the encoded text, the bounds are adjusted to
    include that as well
• The match and secret contain the decoded value
• Two tags are added decoded:<encoding> and decode-depth:<depth>

Currently supported encodings:

• base64 (both standard and base64url)
