Generates a random Base-64-encoded client secret to assign to a

Consumer secrets are base64-encoded but not URL-safe. This is done to
force the user into properly percent-encoding the secrets before generating
OAuth signatures for base strings.
As a side note, Google OAuth generates client secrets with similar encoding
and the above problem is a little hard to trace for the client, but it is a
problem that should be fixed by the client after all. OAuth protocol
version 1.0a requires percent-encoding the secrets before generating
signatures. (See, :func:``generate_plaintext_signature``).
