[WIP] Add support for base64-encoded hash values to 'get_file_hash' (#1339)

* Add support for base64-encoded hash values

The global template function 'get_file_hash' can now return a
base64-encoded hash value when its 'base64' parameter is set to true.

See discussion in #519.

* Fix integrity attribute's value in test site

SRI hash values must be base64-encoded.

* Update documentation about 'get_file_hash'

* Fix 'can_get_hash_for_static_files' unit test

 ### `get_file_hash`
 
-Gets the hash digest for a static file. Supported hashes are SHA-256, SHA-384 (default) and SHA-512. Requires `path`. The `sha_type` key is optional and must be one of 256, 384 or 512.

-This can be used to implement subresource integrity. Do note that subresource integrity is typically used when using external scripts, which `get_file_hash` does not support.
+The function can also output a base64-encoded hash value when its `base64`
+parameter is set to `true`. This can be used to implement [subresource
+integrity](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Security/Subresource_Integrity).

-Whenever hashing files, whether using `get_file_hash` or `get_url(..., cachebust=true)`, the file is searched for in three places: `static/`, `content/` and the output path (so e.g. compiled SASS can be hashed, too.)

 Gets metadata for an image. This supports common formats like JPEG, PNG, as well as SVG.
 Currently, the only supported keys are `width` and `height`.
