Optimize auth.js: Replace Buffer.from(x).toString('base64') with btoa

[studentIvan]

Summary

IE10+ browsers support btoa function. Do we really need 50kb Buffer polyfill in the browser? With this pull request https://github.com/commercetools/nodejs/pull/1650 we can just get rid of the entire Buffer's polyfill

For ones who using it with Babel/Webpack and a browser, you can hack this using this way:

import SdkAuth, { TokenProvider } from '@commercetools/sdk-auth/dist/sdk-auth.es';

if (typeof Buffer === 'undefined' && typeof window !== 'undefined') {
  window.Buffer = {
    from: s => ({ toString: m => m === 'base64' ? btoa(s) : m }),
    byteLength: s => s.length,
  };
}
