Adjust crate level docs
What changed, and why it matters
This commit changes a single sentence in the crate's documentation. It clarifies that the base58 crate requires an allocator specifically for decoding, not for all operations. There is no code change and no security impact.
No action required. This is a documentation-only change with no security relevance.
Security signals we found
No strong security signals were identified.
Evidence from the diff
The diff modifies only a doc comment in base58/src/lib.rs. The original text stated the crate ‘can be used in a no-std environment but requires an allocator.’ The revised text says it ‘requires an allocator for decoding.’ This is a documentation-only clarification with no functional, API, or security changes.
