simplify base64 to only use ByteString
Note the use of fromString and toString from Data.ByteString.UTF8 dated
back to commit
9b93278e8abe1163d53fbf56909d0fe6d7de69e9. Back then it
was using the dataenc package for base64, which operated on Word8 and
String. But with the switch to sandi, it uses ByteString, and indeed
fromB64' and toB64' were already using ByteString without that
complication. So I think there is no risk of such an encoding related
breakage.
I also tested the case that
9b93278e8abe1163d53fbf56909d0fe6d7de69e9
fixed:
git-annex metadata -s foo='a …' x
git-annex metadata x
metadata x
foo=a …
In Remote.Helper.Encryptable, it was avoiding using Utility.Base64
because of that UTF8 conversion. Since that's no longer done, it can
just use it now.
