cext: correct the argument handling of `b85encode()`

The type stub indicated that this argument is `Optional`, which implies None is
allowed.  I don't see in the documentation where that's the case for `i`[1], and
trying it in `hg debugshell` resulted in the method failing with a TypeError.  I
guess it was typed as an `int` argument because the `p` format unit wasn't added
until Python 3.3[2].

In any event, 2 clients in core (`pvec` and `obsolete`) call this with no
argument supplied, and `mdiff` calls it with True.  So I guess we've avoided the
None arg case, and when no arg is supplied, it defaults to the 0 initialization
of the `pad` variable in C.  Since the `p` format unit accepts both `int` and
None, as well as `bool`, I'm not bothering to bump the module version- this code
is more permissive than it was, in addition to being more correct.

Interestingly, when I first imported the `cext` and `pure` methods in the same
manner as the previous commit, it dropped the `Optional` part of the argument
type when generating `util.pyi`.  No idea why.
