Enhancement idea by @gammazero (extracted from ipfs/kubo#8180 (comment)):

Would it be worth implementing a multibase Decoder that would take an io.Reader and return one as well, with a signature like NewDecoder(io.Reader) io.Reader

Then [ipfs multibase decode <file>] could all be done without having to read the entire file into memory.

decReader := mbase.NewDecoder(file)
return resp.emit(decReader)

@lidel Seems like this is something that should exist, or am I missing an obvious reason it does not? Seems like a NewDecode function could start reading the stream, and then construct the correct decoder and return it as an io.Reader.
