gh-144001: Add ignorechars parameter to Base64 decoder

[moneebullah25]

Summary

• Add the ignorechars parameter to binascii.a2b_base64() and base64.b64decode()
• When provided, only characters in this set will be silently ignored during decoding
• Other non-base64 characters will cause a binascii.Error
• Similar to the existing ignorechars parameter in base64.a85decode()

This addresses the feature request in #144001 where the existing strict_mode/validate parameters are "all-or-nothing" - either all non-alphabet characters are rejected, or all are ignored. The new ignorechars parameter allows selective filtering (e.g., ignoring whitespace while rejecting other invalid characters).

API

# Ignore only whitespace, reject other invalid charsbase64.b64decode(b'YWJj\n', ignorechars=b'\n') # OK: b'abc'base64.b64decode(b'YWJj!', ignorechars=b'\n') # Error# Strict: reject all non-base64base64.b64decode(b'YWJj\n', ignorechars=b'') # Error# Default behavior unchangedbase64.b64decode(b'YWJj\n') # OK: b'abc' (ignores all)

Closes#144001

Closing since we will likely prefer Serhiy's PR for that. Thanks for the suggestion.
