[tor-commits] [tor/master] Use 25% less RAM for base64-encoded directory objects



commit 6dc90d290daa29b4ff2c7692be3a2ed64f25dfc1
Author: Nick Mathewson <nickm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Date:   Fri Dec 14 13:11:58 2018 -0500

    Use 25% less RAM for base64-encoded directory objects
    
    We were allocating N bytes to decode an N-byte base64 encoding,
    when 3N/4 would have been enough.
