> Replace custom base 64 encoding with Boost or alternative.

> Key: MINIFICPP-1100
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MINIFICPP-1100
> Project: Apache NiFi MiNiFi C++
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Marc Parisi
> Priority: Blocker
> Fix For: 0.7.0
>
>
> Per the discussion of MINIFICPP-1026, I think using and referencing boost lib
> for not only this component but also others is ideal.
> "Yep. I was 1. My gut suggestion was to use boost's base 64 since it's
> relatively isolated. If you look at the boost variant they mention portions
> come from this repo ( [https://github.com/ReneNyffenegger/cpp-base64])"
>
> Since we have increased the build with static libs we might as well begin
> explore simply using boost directly. The size of the build is moot at that
> point. We should have rationale why custom libs are added to our core when
> alternatives exist that are more widely used.
> Build time, if we only reference portions of boost, should not increase
> dramatically.
