/// # Parameters
/// - `blob`: Compressed LERC byte buffer.
/// - `width`, `height`: Dimensions of the raster image.
/// - `depth`: Number of values per pixel.
/// - `n_bands`: Number of spectral or channel bands.
/// - `n_masks`: Number of masks (usually 1).
///
/// # Returns
/// A tuple `(Vec<T>, Option<Vec<u8>>)` with the decoded data and an optional pixel validity mask.
///
/// # Errors
/// Returns `LercError` if decoding fails.
