Implement a function to encode a binary cookie key as something that can be
used as a filename. Four options are considered:
(1) All printable chars with no '/' characters. Prepend a 'D' to indicate
the encoding but otherwise use as-is.
(2) Appears to be an array of __be32. Encode as 'S' plus a list of
hex-encoded 32-bit ints separated by commas. If a number is 0, it is
rendered as "" instead of "0".
(3) Appears to be an array of __le32. Encoded as (2) but with a 'T'
encoding prefix.
(4) Encoded as base64 with an 'E' prefix plus a second char indicating how
much padding is involved. A non-standard base64 encoding is used
because '/' cannot be used in the encoded form.
If (1) is not possible, whichever of (2), (3) or (4) produces the shortest
string is selected (hex-encoding a number may be less dense than base64
encoding it).
Note that the prefix characters have to be selected from the set [DEIJST@]
lest cachefilesd remove the files because it recognise the name.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
