* hcl2: add textencodebase64 and textdecodebase64 funcs
For feature parity with Terraform, and since having access to strings
encoded in something that is not UTF-8 is required in some cases, we add
both the textencodebase64 and textdecodebase64 functions to HCL2 templates.
Please note these functions return base64 encoded byte slices because of how
cty/hcl defines strings (NFC normalised, UTF-8 encoded).

* core: don't load plugins with metadata in name
To avoid confusion with multiple plugins that report the same effective version,
plugins installed need to have no metadata in their name.
When installed through Packer commands, the metadata is scrubbed from the name of the
installed plugin binary, but manually it may still be possible, so we enforce
that scrubbing at load-time as well.
