/*
Unmarshal parses XDR-encoded data into the value pointed to by v reading from
reader r and returning the total number of bytes read.  An addressable pointer
must be provided since Unmarshal needs to both store the result of the decode as
well as obtain target type information.  Unmarhsal traverses v recursively and
automatically indirects pointers through arbitrary depth, allocating them as
necessary, to decode the data into the underlying value pointed to.

Unmarshal uses reflection to determine the type of the concrete value contained
by v and performs a mapping of underlying XDR types to Go types as follows:

	Go Type <- XDR Type
	--------------------
	int8, int16, int32, int <- XDR Integer
	uint8, uint16, uint32, uint <- XDR Unsigned Integer
	int64 <- XDR Hyper Integer
	uint64 <- XDR Unsigned Hyper Integer
	bool <- XDR Boolean
	float32 <- XDR Floating-Point
	float64 <- XDR Double-Precision Floating-Point
	string <- XDR String
	byte <- XDR Integer
	[]byte <- XDR Variable-Length Opaque Data
	[#]byte <- XDR Fixed-Length Opaque Data
	[]<type> <- XDR Variable-Length Array
	[#]<type> <- XDR Fixed-Length Array
	struct <- XDR Structure
	map <- XDR Variable-Length Array of two-element XDR Structures
	time.Time <- XDR String encoded with RFC3339 nanosecond precision

Notes and Limitations:

	* Automatic unmarshalling of variable and fixed-length arrays of uint8s
	  requires a special struct tag `xdropaque:"false"` since byte slices
	  and byte arrays are assumed to be opaque data and byte is a Go alias
	  for uint8 thus indistinguishable under reflection
	* Cyclic data structures are not supported and will result in infinite
	  loops

If any issues are encountered during the unmarshalling process, an
UnmarshalError is returned with a human readable description as well as
an ErrorCode value for further inspection from sophisticated callers.  Some
potential issues are unsupported Go types, attempting to decode a value which is
too large to fit into a specified Go type, and exceeding max slice limitations.
