Feature Request: Add support for altchars #40

Description

@Indigenuity

First, thanks for a cool package!

The core function that this package turns into a streaming interface is base64.b64encode(s, altchars=None), and that function supports alternate characters for + and /:

Optional altchars must be a bytes-like object of at least length 2 (additional characters are ignored) which specifies an alternative alphabet for the + and / characters. This allows an application to e.g. generate URL or filesystem safe Base64 strings. The default is None, for which the standard Base64 alphabet is used.

Seems like it would be fairly simple to support alt chars in this package by adding a new, optional parameter to the Base64IO constructor.

Happy to make a PR to add the feature if it's something the maintainers would want.
