Add an implementation for base-85 encoding and decoding [1]. Git binary
patches use this format.
Base-85 encoding assembles bytes as 32-bit MSB values, then converts
these values to base-85 numbers (always 5 bytes) encoded as printable
ASCII characters. Decoding base-85 is the reverse operation. Note
that decoding may overflow on invalid input as 85^5 > 2^32. Encodings
always have a length that is a multiple of 5. If input length is not
divisible by 4, padding bytes are (logically) added, which are ignored
when decoding. The encoding for n bytes has thus always exactly length
(n + 3) / 4 * 5 in integer arithmetic (truncating division).
Includes tests.
