Add the wrapcol parameter to base64 functions b16encode(), b32encode(), b32hexencode(), b85encode() and z85encode(), and binascii functions b2a_base32() and b2a_base85().

Add the ignorechars parameter to base64 functions b16decode(), b32decode(), b32hexdecode(), b85decode() and z85decode(), and binascii functions a2b_hex(), unhexlify(), a2b_base32() and a2b_base85().

food for thought: could wrapcol be limited to "even" columns of one decodable chunk? (at least for base16/32/64) - It makes little sense to wrap on unusual boundaries.

food for thought: could wrapcol be limited to "even" columns of one decodable chunk? (at least for base16/32/64) - It makes little sense to wrap on unusual boundaries.

It is limited to the multiple of the size of the group: 2 for base16, 8 for base32, 4 for base64, 5 for base85. Ascii85 has no restriction, because some groups are encoded as one character.
