Nadav Har'El 57b46a92d7 alternator: add base64 encoding and decoding functions
The DynamoDB API uses base64 encoding to encode binary blobs as JSON
strings. So we need functions to do these conversions.

This code was "inspired" by https://github.com/ReneNyffenegger/cpp-base64
but doesn't actually copy code from it.

I didn't write any specific unit tests for this code, but it will be
exercised and tested in a following patch which tests Alternator's use
of these functions.
