bpo-27846: Delete incorrect note in base64 docs (GH-5666)

Browse source 
This note incorrectly stated that "Base64 has an expansion factor of 6
to 4" (it is actually 4 to 3). It was decided to remove the note.

(cherry picked from commit 88c38a4049)

Both Base85 and Ascii85 have an expansion factor of 5 to 4 (5 Base85 or
Ascii85 characters can encode 4 binary bytes), while the better-known
Base64 has an expansion factor of 6 to 4. They are therefore more
efficient when space expensive. They differ by details such as the
character map used for encoding.
