decodes `data`, which can be either a buffer or array of integers, from position `offset` or default 0 and returns the decoded original integer.
Throws a `RangeError` when `data` does not represent a valid encoding.
### varint.decode.bytes
if you also require the length (number of bytes) that were required to decode the integer you can access it via `varint.decode.bytes`. this is an integer property that will tell you the number of bytes that the last .decode() call had to use to decode.

## usage notes
If varint is passed a buffer that does not contain a valid end
byte, then `decode` will return undefined, and `decode.bytes`
byte, then `decode` will throw `RangeError`, and `decode.bytes`
will be set to 0. If you are reading from a streaming source,
it's okay to pass an incomplete buffer into `decode`, detect this
case, and then concatenate the next buffer.
