// Parses a DER-encoded ASN.1 structure. DER (distinguished encoding rules)
// encodes each data value with a tag, length, and value (TLV). The tag
// indicates the type of the ASN.1 value. Depending on the type of the value,
// it could contain arbitrary bytes, so the length of the value is encoded
// after the tag and before the value to indicate how many bytes of value
// follow. DER also defines how the values are encoded for particular types.
//
// This Parser places a few restrictions on the DER encoding it can parse. The
// largest restriction is that it only supports tags which have a tag number
// no greater than 30 - these are the tags that fit in a single octet. The
// second restriction is that the maximum length for a value that can be parsed
// is 4GB. Both of these restrictions should be fine for any reasonable input.
//
// The Parser class is mainly focused on parsing the TLV structure of DER
// encoding, and does not directly handle parsing primitive values (other
// functions in the net::der namespace are provided for this.) When a Parser
// is created, it is passed in a reference to the encoded data. Because the
// encoded data is not owned by the Parser, the data cannot change during the
// lifespan of the Parser. The Parser functions by keeping a pointer to the
// current TLV which starts at the beginning of the input and advancing through
// the input as each TLV is read. As such, a Parser instance is thread-unsafe.
//
// Most methods for using the Parser write the current tag and/or value to
// the output parameters provided and then advance the input to the next TLV.
// None of the methods explicitly expose the length because it is part of the
// value. All methods return a boolean indicating whether there was a parsing
// error with the current TLV.
//
// Some methods are provided in the Parser class as convenience to both read
// the current TLV from the input and also parse the DER encoded value,
// converting it to a corresponding C++ type. These methods simply combine
// ReadTag() with the appropriate ParseType() free function.
//
// The design of DER encoding allows for nested data structures with
// constructed values, where the value is a series of TLVs. The Parser class
// is not designed to traverse through a nested encoding from a single object,
// but it does facilitate parsing nested data structures through the
// convenience methods ReadSequence() and the more general ReadConstructed(),
// which provide the user with another Parser object to traverse the next
// level of TLVs.
//
// For a brief example of how to use the Parser, suppose we have the following
// ASN.1 type definition:
//
//   Foo ::= SEQUENCE {
//     bar OCTET STRING OPTIONAL,
//     quux OCTET STRING }
//
// If we have a DER-encoded Foo in an Input |encoded_value|, the
// following code shows an example of how to parse the quux field from the
// encoded data.
//
//   bool ReadQuux(const Input& encoded_value, Input* quux_out) {
//     Parser parser(encoded_value);
//     Parser foo_parser;
//     if (!parser.ReadSequence(&foo_parser))
//       return false;
//     if (!foo_parser->SkipOptionalTag(kOctetString))
//       return false;
//     if (!foo_parser->ReadTag(kOctetString, quux_out))
//       return false;
//     return true;
//   }
