units: Replace decoder definitions with decoder_newtype macro

Throughout the crates, there exist various decoder types that are
newtype wrappers around existing encoders. Almost all of these use the
same boilerplate for most of their logic and can be replaced by a
macro that provides the same functionality.

Introduce private decoder_newtype macro in include file and introduce
to units crate through include! macro.
Replace all Decoder structs in units with decoder_newtype calls.
