v5.0.13 — Hefty decoder improvements and some renovations to boot!

Hey there!

Spring is here 🌸, and so is a tasty Truffle release! 🍯

This release contains a fair amount of bug fixes, some documentation improvements, and a substantial update and breaking change to truffle-decoder. Thanks to @haltman-at, the truffle-decoder interface received a major overhaul 🐝. Additionally, debugger support for all data types has been enabled. 🚀

For an in-depth look at the truffle-decoder changes, check out #1900, #1908, and #1921.

Shoutouts to @mrwillis, @rgordon95, @maxsam4 & @princesinha19!
