[issue17840] base64_codec uses assert for runtime validity checks

[Alex Henderson]

Alex Henderson added the comment:

I see that there is identical usage of "assert errors=='strict'" in a number of similar encodings modules:

base64_codec.py
bz2_codec.py
hex_codec.py
quopri_codec.py
uu_codec.py
zlib_codec.py

The error handling mode is irrelevant for all these codecs, so the attached patch addresses them all (choosing to ignore the error mode and documenting this).
