interfaces: introduce and use a protocol class for the `base85` module

See f2832de2a46c for details when this was done for the `bdiff` module.

It looks like PEP-688 removed the special casing of `bytes` being a standin
for any type of `ByteString`, and defines a `typing.Buffer` class (with a
backport in `typing_extensions` for Python prior to 3.12).  There's been a lot
of churn in this area with pytype, but recent versions of pytype and PyCharm
recognize this, and e.g. have `mercurial.node.hex()` defined as:

    from typing_extensions import Buffer

    def hex(data: Buffer, sep: str | bytes = ..., bytes_per_sep: int = ...) -> bytes

This covers `bytes`, `bytearray`, and `memoryview` by default.  Both of the C
functions here use `y#` to parse the arguments, which means the arg is a
byte-like object[2], so the args would appear to be better typed as `Buffer`.
However, pytype has a bug that prevents using this from `typing_extensions`[3],
and mypy complained `Unsupported left operand type for + ("memoryview")` in the
pure module on line 37 (meaning it's only a subset of `Buffer`).  So hold off on
changing any of that for now.
