g_base64_encode_step: clarify break_lines behavior a bit

Browse Source 
break_lines uses LFs, not CRLFs like you might expect (since it's
designed for email-related use), but we can't change that now since
the caller has to allocate the output buffer and so the
number-of-bytes-output is part of the ABI. So, just document that.

* @break_lines is typically used when putting base64-encoded data in emails.
* It breaks the lines at 72 columns instead of putting all of the text on
* the same line. This avoids problems with long lines in the email system.
* Note however that it breaks the lines with <literal>LF</literal>
* characters, not <literal>CR LF</literal> sequences, so the result cannot
* be passed directly to SMTP or certain other protocols.
