d3e8adfadautil: remove c-string interfaces for DecodeBase58{Check} (Sebastian Falbesoner) Pull request description: This micro-PR gets rid of base58 function interfaces that are redundant in terms of c-string / std::string variants; the c-string interface for `DecodeBase58Check` is completely unused outside the base58 module, while the c-string interface for `DecodeBase58` is only used in unit tests, where an implicit conversion to std::string is not problematic.

/**
|
|
* Why base-58 instead of standard base-64 encoding?
|
|
* - Don't want 0OIl characters that look the same in some fonts and
|
|
* could be used to create visually identical looking data.
|
|
* - A string with non-alphanumeric characters is not as easily accepted as input.
|
|
* - E-mail usually won't line-break if there's no punctuation to break at.
|
|
* - Double-clicking selects the whole string as one word if it's all alphanumeric.
