Some applications use unpadded base64 format, omitting the trailing
'=' padding characters from the standard base64 format, either to
minimize size or (more justifiably) to avoid use of the '=' character.
Unpadded flavors are standard and documented in section 3.2 of RFC 4648.
To support these unpadded flavors, this change adds two predefined
encoding variables, RawStdEncoding and RawURLEncoding, for unpadded
encodings using the standard and URL character set, respectively.
The change also adds a function WithPadding() to customize the padding
character or disable padding in a custom Encoding.
Finally, I noticed that the existing base64 test-suite was only
exercising the StdEncoding, and not referencing URLEncoding at all.
This change adds test-suite functionality to exercise all four encodings
(the two existing ones and the two new unpadded flavors),
although it still doesn't run *every* test on all four encodings.
Naming: I used the "Raw" prefix because it's more concise than "Unpadded"
and seemed just as expressive, but I have no strong preferences here.
Another short alternative prefix would be "Min" ("minimal" encoding).

Binary Distribution Notes
If you have just untarred a binary Go distribution, you need to set the environment variable $GOROOT to the full path of the go directory (the one containing this file). You can omit the variable if you unpack it into /usr/local/go, or if you rebuild from sources by running all.bash (see doc/install-source.html). You should also add the Go binary directory $GOROOT/bin to your shell's path.
For example, if you extracted the tar file into $HOME/go, you might put the following in your .profile:
export GOROOT=$HOME/go
export PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin
See https://golang.org/doc/install or doc/install.html for more details.
