[issue33770] base64 throws 'incorrect padding' exception even though the string length is a multiple of 4

[Dmitry]

Ideally there needs to be an option to ignore non-fatal errors. Indeed, pretty much any string should be base64-decodeable. Take a look at Perl's MIME::Base64 - it can decode pretty much any random string (so long as it only contains valid base64 characters).
