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.

Since most cookies are fairly small, is there any real benefit to
optimizing for length here? How much inflation are we talking about?

It might be good to eventually consolidate this code with the base64
scheme that fscrypt uses. Are they compatible? If so, then that can be
done in a later merge.

Taking AFS as an example, a vnode is represented at the file level by two
numbers: a 32-bit or 96-bit file ID and a 32-bit uniquifier.  If it's a 96-bit
file ID, a lot of the time, the upper 64-bits will be zero, so we're talking
something like:

	S421d4,1f07f34,,

instead of:

	S000421d401f07f340000000000000000

or:

	E0AAQh1AHwfzQAAAAAAAAAAA==

The first makes for a more readable name in the cache.  The real fun is with
NFS, where the name can be very long.  For one that's just 5 words in length:

	T81010001,1,20153e2,,a906194b

instead of:

	T8101000100000001020153e200000000a906194b

or:

	E0gQEAAQAAAAECAVPiAAAAAKkGGUs=

(The letter on the front represents the encoding scheme; in the base64 encoding
the second digit indicates the amount of padding).

I don't know how much difference it makes to the backing filesystem's
directory packing - and it may depend on the particular filesystem.
