Summary: binascii.b2a_base64() trailing newline

Initial Comment:
binascii.b2a_base64() should not append a "courtesy
newline".  See attached patch (but the test suite
should be updated too).

But won't this break working code?  I believe the courtesy
newline is documented. If people program around this
naively, their code will break.
