lib: add KUnit tests for base64 encoding/decoding

Add a KUnit test suite to validate the base64 helpers.  The tests cover
both encoding and decoding, including padded and unpadded forms as defined
by RFC 4648 (standard base64), and add negative cases for malformed inputs
and padding errors.

The test suite also validates other variants (URLSAFE, IMAP) to ensure
their correctness.

In addition to functional checks, the suite includes simple
microbenchmarks which report average encode/decode latency for small (64B)
and larger (1KB) inputs.  These numbers are informational only and do not
gate the tests.

Kconfig (BASE64_KUNIT) and lib/tests/Makefile are updated accordingly.

Sample KUnit output:

    KTAP version 1
    # Subtest: base64
    # module: base64_kunit
    1..4
    # base64_performance_tests: [64B] encode run : 32ns
    # base64_performance_tests: [64B] decode run : 35ns
    # base64_performance_tests: [1KB] encode run : 510ns
    # base64_performance_tests: [1KB] decode run : 530ns
    ok 1 base64_performance_tests
    ok 2 base64_std_encode_tests
    ok 3 base64_std_decode_tests
    ok 4 base64_variant_tests
    # base64: pass:4 fail:0 skip:0 total:4
    # Totals: pass:4 fail:0 skip:0 total:4

This builds the base64 unit tests.
The tests cover the encoding and decoding logic of Base64 functions
in the kernel.
In addition to correctness checks, simple performance benchmarks
for both encoding and decoding are also included.
For more information on KUnit and unit tests in general please refer
