PEM Match

Regex to match PEM file headers according to OpenSSL pem.h

For each input pem string:

1. check if it contains PEM header line
2. check if it contains corresponding footer line
3. join the in-between lines and try decoding it as base64
4. return the matched label, i.e. RSA PRIVATE KEY and type, i.e. PRIVATE.
