[issue1466065] base64 module ignores non-alphabet characters

[Neil Tallim]

Neil Tallim <red.hamsterx at gmail.com> added the comment:

Attached a patch that modifies Modules/binascii.c to raise a TypeError
on any unrecognized base64 input, rather than failing silently. Also
includes unit tests.

Patch built against Python 2.7, r74246.

TypeError was preserved over ValueError, despite the lack of related
logic, for legacy purposes.
