Allow masking if 8 or more characters in base64

What does this MR do?

Change regular expression to allow for all characters in the base64 alphabet (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4648) to be properly masked, if the string is at least 8 char long. This should allow gitlab-runner to mask $SSH_PRIVATE_KEY if any user is following the guide here: https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/ssh_keys/#ssh-keys-when-using-the-docker-executor.
