  Calls initialize() once and step() repeatedly on the Decoder object.

  Args:
    decoder: A `Decoder` instance.
    output_time_major: Python boolean.  Default: `False` (batch major).  If
      `True`, outputs are returned as time major tensors (this mode is faster).
      Otherwise, outputs are returned as batch major tensors (this adds extra
      time to the computation).
    impute_finished: Python boolean.  If `True`, then states for batch
      entries which are marked as finished get copied through and the
      corresponding outputs get zeroed out.  This causes some slowdown at
      each time step, but ensures that the final state and outputs have
      the correct values and that backprop ignores time steps that were
      marked as finished.
    maximum_iterations: `int32` scalar, maximum allowed number of decoding
       steps.  Default is `None` (decode until the decoder is fully done).
    parallel_iterations: Argument passed to `tf.while_loop`.
    swap_memory: Argument passed to `tf.while_loop`.
    scope: Optional variable scope to use.

  Returns:
