stdlib: Use binary_to_list in base64 when it is faster

It is sometimes faster to use binary_to_list on input, at least when
not considering time for garbage collections. The three functions all
return a list, and the temporary list created by binary_to_list should
be reclaimed very fast. The implementation from before is thus kept.
