base64: Speed up decoder by using a table.

The current implementation calls strchr() for each character in the
decoded data to find the offset in the Base64[] array that corresponds
to six decoded bits. This makes the algorithm scale poorly.

This commit introduces a lookup table of size 256 which simplifies
the code and improves the performance of the decoder.
