Process a diff file stream into a class with objects separated.

    Parameters
    ----------
    data_stream : class
        A file-like class containing a decompressed diff file data stream.

    Returns
    -------
    data_object : osc_decoder class
        A class containing attribute dictionaries for each OpenStreetMap
        object type, namely .nodes, .relations, and .ways. Relations 
        that contain nodes not modified and therefore not included in
        the diff file are listed in .missingNds.
