Base 64 component

Component to allow base 64 encoding and decoding. Sometimes when communicating raw binary data it is useful to perform base 64 encoding to ensure that none of your data bytes trigger any escape codes or other special case conditions. Base64 converts your binary data into readable data using standard ASCII characters so you can be fairly certain that the data you send is the same as the data that is received.
