Description:
This patch adds two subcommands to the binary ensemble that provide encoding of binary data. The 'encode' and 'decode' commands are themselves ensembles to permit addition of further encodings either by packages or script implementations.

Implemented encodings are hex, uuencode and base64.
eg:
 binary decode base64 [binary encode base64 $data]

Updated the sample implementation. The base64 and uuencode encoders now support -maxlen and -wrapchar options and can wrap the output as it is generated. The decoders for all encodings accept a -strict option to cause errors to be raised on invalid input - by default they ignore invalid input and keep reading for the next valid octet.
Lots of tests added to the binary.test file.
