 * Returns true on success, false on any failure.
 * The actual struct pointed to by dest must match the description in fields.
 * Callback fields of the destination structure must be initialized by caller.
 * All other fields will be initialized by this function.
 *
 * Example usage:
 *    MyMessage msg = {};
 *    uint8_t buffer[64];
 *    pb_istream_t stream;
 *
 *    // ... read some data into buffer ...
 *
 *    stream = pb_istream_from_buffer(buffer, count);

/* Extended version of pb_decode, with several options to control
 * the decoding process:
 *
 * PB_DECODE_NOINIT:         Do not initialize the fields to default values.
 *                           This is slightly faster if you do not need the default
 *                           values and instead initialize the structure to 0 using
 *                           e.g. memset(). This can also be used for merging two
 *                           messages, i.e. combine already existing data with new
 *                           values.
 *
 * PB_DECODE_DELIMITED:      Input message starts with the message size as varint.
 *                           Corresponds to parseDelimitedFrom() in Google's
 *                           protobuf API.
 *
 * PB_DECODE_NULLTERMINATED: Stop reading when field tag is read as 0. This allows
 *                           reading null terminated messages.
 *                           NOTE: Until nanopb-0.4.0, pb_decode() also allows
 *                           null-termination. This behaviour is not supported in
 *                           most other protobuf implementations, so PB_DECODE_DELIMITED
 *                           is a better option for compatibility.
 *
 * Multiple flags can be combined with bitwise or (| operator)
