The stream decoder decoded each buffered chunk with a stateless call
to Decode, so validity and error offsets depended on how the
underlying reader happened to chunk the input. A padded group followed
by more input was accepted whenever a chunk boundary fell right after
the padding, even though decoding the same input as a whole rejects
it, and CorruptInputError offsets were relative to the current chunk
rather than the whole stream.

Track how much input has been consumed and whether a padded group has
been seen: reject any input that follows a padded group, and rebase
error offsets so they refer to positions in the whole input stream.

Fixes #31626

Patch Set 1:

Congratulations on opening your first change. Thank you for your contribution!

Next steps:
A maintainer will review your change and provide feedback. See
https://go.dev/doc/contribute#review for more info and tips to get your
patch through code review.

Most changes in the Go project go through a few rounds of revision. This can be
surprising to people new to the project. The careful, iterative review process
is our way of helping mentor contributors and ensuring that their contributions
have a lasting impact.

During May-July and Nov-Jan the Go project is in a code freeze, during which
little code gets reviewed or merged. If a reviewer responds with a comment like
R=go1.11 or adds a tag like "wait-release", it means that this CL will be
reviewed as part of the next development cycle. See https://go.dev/s/release
for more details.
