Be more consistent in the documentation and variable declarations for base64 escaping vs unescaping:
* Move table documenting escaping conversions to be next to the internal escaping code that implements it. Mention it from the internal _un_escaping code (which reverses it) too. * Centralize the two arrays which map from normal chars to escaped chars (k(WebSafe)Base64Chars), and make bidirectional documentation links between them and their reverse (unescaping) maps (kUn(WebSafe)Base64). * Remove redundant list of escaping/unescaping methods in the public escaping.cc.
