Multipart form decode

[David Bovill]

Yes - I need a (standard) decoder. As far as I can tell we have a few
handlers in Livecode for encoding data for multipart form encoding - then
the Livecode server will do its magic and parse that making the rules
available - however there is no function to do the rfc7578
<https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7578> decoding - at least that is
documented. We need this if we are coding our own server using the built in
sockets handling. I have a couple of hacks to extract uploaded images or
other files - but nothing robust or a general parser.
