commit dd65e8b8494aedf0eafff0ac6894a0c99e0a62ba
Author: iannucci <iannucci@chromium.org>

Add base128 encoding library.

This will be used to safely encode datastore Key string ids, which are
supposedly UTF8 encoded. This base128 implementation only ever uses the lower 7
bits, and so should always roundtrip through UTF8 without any drama.

This is also designed to retain sort-order between sorted and unsorted forms
(that is: the data encoded and unencoded should memcmp sort the same way).
Unfortunately other schemes (such as base64/ascii85) don't preserve this
property.
