The "string" option only applies for strings, floats, integers, and
booleans as per the documentation. So when decoding ignore the "string"
option if the value is not of one of the types mentioned. This matches
the Marshal step which also ignores the "string" option for invalid
types.
Fixes#9812

All slice types which have elements of kind reflect.Uint8 are marshalled
into base64 for compactness. When decoding such data into a custom type
based on []byte the decoder checked the slice kind instead of the slice
element kind, so no appropriate decoder was found.
Fixed by letting the decoder check slice element kind like the encoder.
This guarantees that already encoded data can still be successfully
decoded.
Fixes#8962.

The error message for decoding a unquoted value into a struct field with
the ,string option specified has two arguments when one is needed.
Make the error message take one argument and add a test in order to cover
the case when a unquoted value is specified.
Also add error value as the missing argument for Fatalf call in test.
Fixes the following go vet reports:
decode.go:602: wrong number of args for format in Errorf call: 1 needed but 2 args
decode_test.go:1088: missing argument for Fatalf("%v"): format reads arg 1, have only 0 args
