Motivation/summary
Remove the input error parameter from the top-level model types' Decode functions. This is a non-idiomatic pattern which leads to less than ideal performance due to repeatedly checking errors rather than the idiomatic approach of checking once and bailing out early. The input error is always nil in practice for the modified decoders.
I've left the other decoders alone for now, as that's a much bigger change. We should address those as part of #3551.
