base64: no longer support hex or oct --wrap params
* src/base64.c (main): Support decimal numbers with leading zeros,
by disabling the auto detection of octal and hex. It's not
envisaged that base conversion is needed for --wrap parameters,
and in the edge case it is, $((0x0)) shell constructs can be used.
* tests/misc/base64.pl: Adjust accordingly.
* NEWS: Mention the change in behavior.
