RunLength decoder (Adobe version) implementation based on PDF Reference
version 1.4 section 3.3.4:
The RunLengthDecode filter decodes data that has been encoded in a
simple byte-oriented format based on run length. The encoded data
is a sequence of runs, where each run consists of a length byte
followed by 1 to 128 bytes of data. If the length byte is in the
range 0 to 127, the following length + 1 (1 to 128) bytes are
copied literally during decompression. If length is in the range
129 to 255, the following single byte is to be copied 257 - length
(2 to 128) times during decompression. A length value of 128
denotes EOD.
