Description

Base64Url encoded data rarely includes the trailing padding, because Base64Url encoded data is almost always used in a situation where the full length of the data is known.

Base64Url decoders should accept trailing padding, but generators should not.

Base64Url tests will need to be updated as they currently allow for the incorrect padding.
