Fix timing side-channel in PKCS7 padding

Browse Source 
Previously, we were checking if the last padding byte was in the range
1-16 and returning early if not. This was to prevent an integer overflow
in the output length.

Instead, do the checks in constant-time and conditionally set the output
length based on whether the padding is correct or not, preventing both
the side-channel and the integer overflow.
