Base64-encoding option for JWT secrets.

[LoicPoullain]

Issue

By default, FoalTS JWT hooks decode JWT secrets using UTF-8. We should have an option to decode these secrets using base64 since foal createsecret generates base64-encoded keys.

Solution

Add a new option in the config to do that.

settings:
  jwt:
    secretEncoding: 'base64'

Implementation

Just add a Buffer.from(secret, 'base64') and a Config.get in the hook.
