encoding: show the alphabet for base32 and base64

There is not a great reason to hide the alphabet used
for StdEncoding, HexEncoding, and URLEncoding.

Although this is specified in RFC 4748,
showing it in GoDoc saves an extra click from going
to the RFC itself to see the alphabet being used.

Also, split exported and unexported constants apart
so that GoDoc renders more cleanly.

Fixes #55126
