[tor-commits] [tor/release-0.2.5] When decoding a base-{16, 32, 64} value, clear the target buffer first

commit 47760c7ba5f1c87c945f4a018e3b3da6d127a8b9

    When decoding a base-{16,32,64} value, clear the target buffer first
    
    This is a good idea in case the caller stupidly doesn't check the
    return value from baseX_decode(), and as a workaround for the
    current inconsistent API of base16_decode.
    
    Prevents any fallout from bug 14013.
