In order for all the error return values to be distributed on the same
side (instead of surrounding the success error code), the return values
for errors other than a simple verification failure are switched to
negative values. This way the result of the jwt_verify converter can be
compared strictly to 1 as well relative to 0 (any <= 0 return value is
an error).
The documentation was also modified to discourage conversion of the
return value into a boolean (which would definitely not work).
Tim reported that a decoding error from the base64 function wouldn't
be matched in case of bad input, and could possibly cause trouble
with -1 being passed in decoded_sig->data. In the case of HMAC+SHA
it is harmless as the comparison is made using memcmp() after checking
for length equality, but in the case of RSA/ECDSA this result is passed
as a size_t to EVP_DigetVerifyFinal() and may depend on the lib's mood.
The fix simply consists in checking the intermediary result before
storing it.
That's precisely what happens with one of the regtests which returned
0 instead of 4 on the intentionally defective token, so the regtest
was fixed as well.
No backport is needed as this is new in this release.
