Description
Hi, as mentioned in this issue #725, it is not possible to customise behaviour of throwing by wrapping by Feign all exceptions thrown from Custom Decoders into DecodeException.
It would be nice to have control over it and be able to configure Feign to throw original exception instead of DecodeException.
While I understand its considered fatal error I might want to convert this into my business, standard fatal exception.
Currently its only possible outside Feign client. It would be handy to configure it in Feign.Builder.

Research direction
Start by tracing Feign.Builder configuration into the handling of Custom Decoders and DecodeException, using issue #725 for context. Define how configuration should preserve the original exception, then add coverage showing that a configured Feign client exposes the original decoder exception instead of wrapping it.
