As described in bpo-9517, many test modules do not make use of the helpers in script_helpers.py to invoke the python interpreter in a subprocess. bpo-9517 will be broken down into several smaller issues so we can address smaller change sets.

This issue is to update test_base64.py to use script_helpers.py.

[bobcatfish]

Updated TestMain in test_base64 to use test.support.script_helpers. Split test_encode_file into two tests.

Thanks Christie. I've kept get_output() and changed it to return assert_python_ok().out.
