cachefiles: Implement key to filename encoding
Implement a function to encode a binary cookie key as something that can be used as a filename. Four options are considered: (1) All printable chars with no '/' characters. Prepend a 'D' to indicate the encoding but otherwise use as-is. (2) Appears to be an array of __be32. Encode as 'S' plus a list of hex-encoded 32-bit ints separated by commas. If a number is 0, it is rendered as "" instead of "0". (3) Appears to be an array of __le32. Encoded as (2) but with a 'T' encoding prefix. (4) Encoded as base64 with an 'E' prefix plus a second char indicating how much padding is involved. A non-standard base64 encoding is used because '/' cannot be used in the encoded form. If (1) is not possible, whichever of (2), (3) or (4) produces the shortest string is selected (hex-encoding a number may be less dense than base64 encoding it). Note that the prefix characters have to be selected from the set [DEIJST@] lest cachefilesd remove the files because it recognise the name.
