feat: Fuzz Unpack and reading of messages #186
Description
The reading and unpacking of messages consumes data from third-party sources. While this data is often from a trusted party it's still important to have parsers which do not crash on unexpected input. OWASP mentions that parsing of untrusted data is a major security risk software applications face.
Fuzzing is a testing methodology which generates inputs to execute all codepaths of a parser and discover crashes. We should fuzz the iso8583 parser and pack/unpack code.
Example for reading data:

The Go standard library has support for fuzzing. We've previously used a third-party library for fuzzing, but with native support we should build a fuzzer using Go's toolchain.
