Description
Hi,
Can you add support for .decode() method, which simply decodes the token without verifying the signature?
Similar to: https://github.com/auth0/node-jsonwebtoken?tab=readme-ov-file#jwtdecodetoken--options
Happy to contribute and create MR for this feature.

Research direction
Start by inspecting the existing jsonwebtoken API and the requested .decode() entry point, then compare its behavior with the linked node-jsonwebtoken jwt.decode(token, options) documentation. Done means the binding exposes decoding without verifying the signature and matches the referenced behavior.
