#3196: if needed pad a short base64 encoded word before trying to decode.
The RFCs encourage following Postel's law: be liberal in what you accept.
So if someone forgot to pad the base64 encoded word payload to an
even four bytes, we add the padding before handing it to base64mime.decode.
Previously, missing padding resulted in a HeaderParseError.
Patch by Jason Williams.
........
2047-like headers where there is no whitespace between encoded words. This
fix changes the matching regexp to include a trailing lookahead assertion that
the closing ?= must be followed by whitespace, newline, or end-of-string.
This also changes the regexp to add the MULTILINE flag.
