[issue17618] base85 encoding

[Serhiy Storchaka]

Serhiy Storchaka added the comment:

I want to see both algorithms to be similar so far as it is possible. It might be worth extract and reuse a common code. Mercurial's code looks far more optimal (for example a85encode has a quadratic complexity in result accumulating).
