Base64InputStream.skip skips underlying stream, not output
----------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: CODEC-130
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CODEC-130
             Project: Commons Codec
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 1.5
            Reporter: James Pickering
            Priority: Minor


Base64InputStream.skip() skips within underlying stream, leading to unexpected 
behaviour.

The following code will reproduce the issue:

@Test
public void testSkip() throws Throwable {
    InputStream ins =
            new 
ByteArrayInputStream("AAAA////".getBytes("ISO-8859-1"));//should decode to {0, 
0, 0, 255, 255, 255}
    Base64InputStream instance = new Base64InputStream(ins);
    assertEquals(3L, instance.skip(3L)); //should skip 3 decoded characters, or 
4 encoded characters
    assertEquals(255, instance.read()); //Currently returns 3, as it is 
decoding "A/", not "//" 
}

The following code, if added to Base64InputStream, or (BaseNCodecInputStream in 
the dev build) would resolve the issue:

@Override
public long skip(long n) throws IOException {
    //delegate to read()
    long bytesRead = 0;
    while ((bytesRead < n) && (read() != -1)) {
        bytesRead++;
    }
    return bytesRead;
}

More efficient code may be possible.
