Enhance the Base64 Encode intrinsic for x86 using AVX-512 to get better performance. Also allow for performance improvement on non-AVX-512 enabled platforms.

Added AVX-512 code for encoding Base64 blocks, including slight improvements for non-AVX-512 x86 platforms.

Running the Base64Decode benchmark, this change increases decode performance by an average of 2.6x with a maximum 9.7x for buffers > ~20k.  The numbers are given in the table below.

**Base Score** is without intrinsic support, **Optimized Score** is using this intrinsic, and **Gain** is **Base** / **Optimized**.

Benchmark Name | Base Score | Optimized Score | Gain
-- | -- | -- | --
testBase64Encode size 1 | 8.10 | 8.04 | 1.01
testBase64Encode size 2 | 8.51 | 8.43 | 1.01
testBase64Encode size 3 | 11.08 | 10.72 | 1.03
testBase64Encode size 6 | 13.98 | 13.12 | 1.07
testBase64Encode size 7 | 14.44 | 13.38 | 1.08
testBase64Encode size 9 | 15.44 | 14.37 | 1.07
testBase64Encode size 10 | 16.13 | 14.97 | 1.08
testBase64Encode size 48 | 27.14 | 23.23 | 1.17
testBase64Encode size 512 | 123.86 | 30.75 | 4.03
testBase64Encode size 1000 | 224.42 | 37.71 | 5.95
testBase64Encode size 20000 | 4202.11 | 430.16 | 9.77
