[issue16995] Add Base32 support for RFC4648 "Extended Hex" alphabet (patch attached)

[Serhiy Storchaka]

Serhiy Storchaka added the comment:

The patch can't be longer applied cleanly. It should be synchronized with sources. It is the last chance for this feature to get to 3.5 if somebody will update the patch and add the documentation.

The feature itself LGTM. The only my doubt is about the name of boolean parameter. "base32hex" is recommended as encoding name. Parameter can be named as "exthex" or "extended_hex". Or may be add separate functions b32hexencode/b32hexdecode. I'm not sure.
