LGTM. There is a minimal change in behavior such that a index is now only reported to have the old format when it can actually be loaded as such, which is actually more accurate than before.

What does this PR change? What problem does it solve?
There were three places in the codebase that did
decode new-style index -> check error -> decode old-style index
via a system of callbacks. I've replaced all three by a single DecodeIndex that can handle both formats, saving some 20 lines of code, two public functions in internal/repository and one public error type.
There's still some repetition in the code, but I didn't see a clean way of getting rid it. Two of the call sites pass a buffer around that would have to become an argument and a fourth return value on DecodeIndex.
New-style decoding is as fast as it was before:
Decoding old-format indices no longer requires loading and decrypting twice, so that may be faster, but there's no benchmark for that.
Was the change discussed in an issue or in the forum before?
No.
