Bidirectional base64; will be used by JSON v2.

This reverts commit dc059560e73e0b373a6e54e71b07e3af4b692cb4. I changed my mind. There's no harm in leaving it deprecated for a release cycle.
-
See ChangeLog for rationale for not deprecating it as originally planned.
-
I had some ideas about some more convenience methods from discussions with some developers, but I decided that the newly added ones cover most of the use cases. The other ideas were too hard to explain clearly and therefore too specialized to put into the public API, where I would have to support them for a long time.
-
Where not possible, use "auto" to get the iterator type. Editorial note: I have avoid this change for a long time because of not wanting to make gratuitous changes to version history, which can obscure when certain changes were made, but with having recently touched every single file to apply automatic code formatting and with making several broad changes to the API, I decided it was time to take the plunge and get rid of the older (pre-C++11) verbose iterator syntax. The new code is just easier to read and understand, and in many cases, it will be more effecient as fewer temporary copies are being made. m-holger, if you're reading, you can see that I've finally come around. :-)

Change .clang-format and commit automated changes from a fresh run of format-code
-
It was being run at configuration time, not build time.
-
Make it so that a key with a null value is always treated as not being present. This was inconsistent before.
-
Character transcoding from Unicode to single-byte characters used hard-coded switch statements because the code predated our adoption of C++11. Now we have thread-safe, static initialization of map literals, so use that instead.
-
I was using AttributeMacros incorrectly, and a recent update to clang-format broke the formatting.
