drm/panic: Better binary encoding in QR code
The current encoding, is done by converting 13bits of input into 4 decimal digits, that are then encoded efficiently using the numeric encoding of the QR code specification. The Fido v2.2 specification [1] uses a similar approach for its QR-initiated authentication. The only difference is that it converts 7 bytes (56bits) of input into 17 decimal digits. The benefit is that the algorithm doesn't require to split input bytes into 13bits chunk, and the ratio is a bit better. This improvement was proposed by Jó Ágila Bitsch in [2]. drm_panic is still young, and the QR code feature is not widely used, so it's still time to switch to a common algorithm, shared with a widely used standard. I also changed the name of the url parameter, from zl= to z=, so the website can keep backward compatibility if needed.
