 *  Returns the small hash of a string, using RFC 4648 base64url format
 *
 *  Small hashes:
 *   - are unique (well, as unique as crc32, at last)
 *   - are always 6 characters long.
 *   - only use the following characters: a-z A-Z 0-9 - _ @
 *   - are NOT cryptographically secure (they CAN be forged)
 *
 *  In Shaarli, they are used as a tinyurl-like link to individual entries,
 *  e.g. smallHash('20111006_131924') --> yZH23w
