[PATCH v9 04/11] drm/xe/devcoredump: Add ASCII85 dump helper function

From: John Harrison <John.C.Harrison at Intel.com>

There is a need to include the GuC log and other large binary objects
in core dumps and via dmesg. So add a helper for dumping to a printer
function via conversion to ASCII85 encoding.

Another issue with dumping such a large buffer is that it can be slow,
especially if dumping to dmesg over a serial port. So add a yield to
prevent the 'task has been stuck for 120s' kernel hang check feature
from firing.

v2: Add a prefix to the output string. Fix memory allocation bug.
v3: Correct a string size calculation and clean up a define (review
feedback from Julia F).
