js: extend information on decoding in decrypt

--

* src/Connection.js: resulting data, if not pure ascii, is base64
  encoded in the result message. A further decoding attempt into
  javascript 'string' will be attempted by default, unless specified
  at the decrypt() method. The return value 'format' now shows which
  of the possibilities has been applied. The old boolean 'base64'
  now turns into format:'base64' if the returned payload is a base64
  string after decryption.
