These were initially introduced as functions with "encode" and "decode" prefixes, but that doesn't match with our existing convention of putting the encoding format first so that the encode and decode functions will group together in a alphabetically-ordered function list. "text" is not really a defined serialization format, but it's a short word that hopefully represents well enough what these functions are aiming to encode and decode, while being consistent with existing functions like jsonencode/jsondecode, yamlencode/yamldecode, etc. The "base64" at the end here is less convincing because there is precedent for that modifier to appear both at the beginning and the end in our existing function names. I chose to put it at the end here because that seems to be our emergent convention for situations where the base64 encoding is a sort of secondary modifier alongside the primary purpose of the function, as we see with "filebase64". (base64gzip is an exception here, but it seems outvoted by the others.)
