Base64 decoder (see binascii.a2b_base64(), base64.b64decode(), etc)
no longer ignores excess data after the first padded quad in non-strict
(default) mode. Instead, in conformance with RFC 4648, it ignores the
pad character, "=", if it is present before the end of the encoded data.
(cherry picked from commit 4561f64)
(cherry picked from commit e31c551)
