CID 1590024:    (CHECKED_RETURN)
Calling "pg_b64_encode" without checking return value (as is done elsewhere 8 out of 10 times).

The function *pg_b64_encode* has in the comments:
[0]  "and -1 in the event of an error"

So, the function can fail.
All other calls check the return, In this case it could not be different.

Fix by checking the return and reporting a message to the user,
in case of failure.

Thanks, fixed. (I changed the ereports to elogs, which is how other call sites do it.)

I also fixed a related problem in the pg_b64_decode() calls in libpq.

Maybe we could put a pg_nodiscard attribute on pg_b64_encode() and pg_b64_decode()?

[0] I think the most correct would be *or* not *and* word?

I think both are ok here.
