RFR: 8295153: java/util/Base64/TestEncodingDecodingLength.java ran out of memory

Please review this PR which converts _TestEncodingDecodingLength.java_ into a whitebox test which allows for testing to be done without memory usage issues.

Currently, the test requires about ~2.75 `Integer.MAX_VALUE` sized byte arrays worth of memory. (2 for the initial array allocation, .75 for the target array in `decode()`). While the `-Xms6g -Xmx8g` options should address this, there have been intermittent memory issues, as the underlying machine machine may be running other tests simultaneously.

By converting this test to a white-box test not only does it get rid of memory issues, but it also gets rid of the need to decode 2GB of data 3 times. The change is done using reflection to test the private visibility methods `encodedOutLength` and `decodedOutLength`, which the public `encode` and `decode` overloaded methods call respectively.
