This closes issue #30. Thanks to [Arron](https://github.com/boxerab) for highlighting this issue.

Now there is additional 8 bytes in front of the codeblock buffer at the decoder.  This extra buffer is a protection against the VLC decoder reading from before the start of the cleanup pass, which can happen because we are reading 4 bytes from the VLC segment at a time.
Additional improvements:
1. Bug fix in ojph_block_encoder.
2. Hardened the code by not decoding incomplete codeblocks.
