aerc: fix build when GOFLAGS contains spaces

Due to multiple levels of nested quoting, it is not possible to escape
spaces and/or quotes from GOFLAGS and pass the value to go build
-ldflags to set a compile time variable.

Encode main.Flags in base64 and decode it when reading it.

Fixes: d7e6dc3649ea ("aerc: add build info to version string")
