A restricted version of `:erlang.binary_to_term/2` that forbids
*executable* terms, such as anonymous functions.
The `opts` are given to the underlying `:erlang.binary_to_term/2`

By default this function does not restrict atoms, as an atom
interned in one node may not yet have been interned on another
(except for releases, which preload all code).
If you want to avoid atoms from being created, then you can pass
`[:safe]` as options, as that will also enable the safety mechanisms

Decodes the original data from the token and verifies its integrity.
## Examples
In this scenario we will create a token, sign it, then provide it to a client
application. The client will then use this token to authenticate requests for
resources from the server. See `Plug.Crypto` summary for more info about
creating tokens.
iex> user_id = 99
iex> secret = "kjoy3o1zeidquwy1398juxzldjlksahdk3"
iex> user_salt = "user salt"
iex> token = Plug.Crypto.sign(secret, user_salt, user_id)
The mechanism for passing the token to the client is typically through a
cookie, a JSON response body, or HTTP header. For now, assume the client has
received a token it can use to validate requests for protected resources.
When the server receives a request, it can use `verify/4` to determine if it
should provide the requested resources to the client:
iex> Plug.Crypto.verify(secret, user_salt, token, max_age: 86400)
{:ok, 99}
In this example, we know the client sent a valid token because `verify/4`
returned a tuple of type `{:ok, user_id}`. The server can now proceed with
the request.
However, if the client had sent an expired or otherwise invalid token
`verify/4` would have returned an error instead:
iex> Plug.Crypto.verify(secret, user_salt, expired, max_age: 86400)
{:error, :expired}
iex> Plug.Crypto.verify(secret, user_salt, invalid, max_age: 86400)
{:error, :invalid}
## Options
* `:max_age` - verifies the token only if it has been generated
"max age" ago in seconds. Defaults to the max age signed in the
token (86400)
* `:key_iterations` - option passed to `Plug.Crypto.KeyGenerator`
when generating the encryption and signing keys. Defaults to 1000
* `:key_length` - option passed to `Plug.Crypto.KeyGenerator`
when generating the encryption and signing keys. Defaults to 32
* `:key_digest` - option passed to `Plug.Crypto.KeyGenerator`
when generating the encryption and signing keys. Defaults to `:sha256`
