small improvement to base64

[Ralf Wildenhues]

Hi Simon,

Please apply the tiny patch below to the base64 module to fix a typo and
to put the long constant string in the initialized data section.  This
avoids reinitialization of the string upon function invocation and
should thus generally be about a wee bit faster.  :)

Cheers,
Ralf
