encoding/pem: be more permissive about decoding empty blocks.
As noted in bug #10980, an empty PEM block is encoded as
-----BEGIN foo-----
-----END foo-----
However, Decode failed to process this.
RFC 1421 doesn't answer what the encoding of the empty block should be
because PEM messages always contain at least one header. However, PEM
these days is just the encoding format – nobody uses the rest of PEM any
longer.
Having the empty block not contain a newline seems most correct because
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1421#section-9 clearly says that the
optional “pemtext” carries the leading new-line with it. So if omitted,
the new-line should be omitted too.
None the less, this changes makes encoding/pem permissive, accepting any
number of blank lines in an empty PEM block.
Fixes #10980
