The current code only checks if the base64-encoded metadata is at most 980 characters. However, that can encode up to 735 bytes of data, while only up to 733 bytes are allowed. When passing 734 or 735 bytes, openvpn prints a misleading error message saying that the base64 cannot be decoded.
This patch checks the decoded length to show an accurate error message.
