Unify decoder error names to DecoderError

At the moment, some consensus encoding decoders use a naming convention
like *DecodeError for their error types. The overwhelming majority use
*DecoderError, and this was the initial decision early in the process
of introducing consensus_encoding.

Replace *DecodeError error types with *DecoderError types.
