Add a KUnit test suite to validate the base64 helpers. The tests cover
both encoding and decoding, including padded and unpadded forms as defined
by RFC 4648 (standard base64), and add negative cases for malformed inputs
and padding errors.
The test suite also validates other variants (URLSAFE, IMAP) to ensure
their correctness.
In addition to functional checks, the suite includes simple
microbenchmarks which report average encode/decode latency for small (64B)
and larger (1KB) inputs. These numbers are informational only and do not
gate the tests.
Kconfig (BASE64_KUNIT) and lib/tests/Makefile are updated accordingly.
Sample KUnit output:
KTAP version 1
