Commit 76b76183 by Abseil Team Committed by Copybara-Service

Document the WebSafe* and *WithPadding variants more concisely, as deltas from Base64Encode.

Also:
* Clarify that padding refers to ‘output’ padding
* Make CalculateBase64EscapedLen() a bit more discoverable
* Reference all relevant non-obsolete RFCs (2045 as well as 4648)
