thislooksfun e9f376825c docs: fix documentation of atob and btoa (#748) ...

These function are confusingly named. `btoa` converts "Binary" to Ascii
by encoding the input using base64. `atob` reverses that process by
base64 decoding the Ascii input into a "Binary" output.

The names come from the Unix utilities with the same names, which
"converts a binary file to ascii for transmission over a telephone line"
(https://www.unix.com/man-page/minix/1/btoa/)

See:
- https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/atob
- https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/btoa
- https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/webappapis.html#dom-btoa-dev

Note: the actual implementation of `btoa` and `atob` are correct, but
the docs were backwards.
