base64: properly compute the decoded size upper bound
First, the correct length for decoding should be computed with
/4*3 , not the other way round as when encoding.
But also, without padding, a string such as "Zg" is valid base64
(here, it's the character 'f', padded base64 would be "Zg==").
decodedLenUpperBound() returned 0 instead of 1 in that example.
Correctly fix the computation of the upper bound.
