Add existing encodings/ciphers from Ciphey
This is a list of all the currently supported encodings/ciphers in Ciphey. We need to make them in Rust for Ares to achieve feature parity.
Encodings

- [ ] Base8 (Octal)
- [ ] Base10 (Decimal)
- [x] Base16 (Hexadecimal)
- [x] Base32
- [x] Base58 Bitcoin
- [x] Base58 Flickr
- [x] Base58 Ripple
- [x] Base58 Monero (Not in Ciphey)
- [ ] Base62 #137
- [x] Base64
- [x] Base64 URL
- [ ] Base69
- [ ] Base85
- [x] Citrix CTX1 (Not in Ciphey)
- [ ] Z85
- [ ] ASCII Base85
- [x] Base91

There's a broken PR for that here :D https://github.com/bee-san/Ares/pull/137 If you're interested please feel free to try and fix it 🙏🏻 <3
ASCII85 and Base85 are the same encoding, just different names. Maybe one of them should be removed from the list to avoid confusion.

That's false, they're different. ASCII85 refers to Adobe's variation of base85. They're separate functions in Python.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ascii85#Adobe_version
Adobe adopted the basic btoa encoding, but with slight changes, and gave it the name Ascii85.
https://docs.python.org/3/library/base64.html
base64.a85encode(b, *, foldspaces=False, wrapcol=0, pad=False, adobe=False)
Encode the bytes-like object b using Ascii85 and return the encoded bytes.
base64.b85encode(b, pad=False)
Encode the bytes-like object b using base85 (as used in e.g. git-style binary diffs) and return the encoded bytes.

Oh, right, I forgot how many implementations of Base85 there are. Perhaps we should specify it's the Adobe implementation of Base85 up there, for extra clarity.
With ciphers that require a password, like Vigenère Cipher, how is that done? Is the password just brute-forced?

Yes, a Vigenere cracker needs to be implemented. Here's an example of one: https://www.guballa.de/vigenere-solver That's the best one that I know of. How it works: https://www.guballa.de/bits-and-bytes/implementierung-des-vigenere-solvers
A lot of ciphers require you to know the key with which the message was encoded. We should write a crate for brute-forcing keys, and use that among all the cipher crates.
For Vigenere and XOR, I found these two algorithms:
- https://github.com/TheAlgorithms/Rust/blob/master/src/ciphers/vigenere.rs
- https://github.com/TheAlgorithms/Rust/blob/master/src/ciphers/xor.rs
Not sure if it's worth a whole issue or not but eventually instead of guessing/brute forcing the password, I think there should be a flag to provide a known password, then ares could only go over ciphers with passwords using the provided password.
