Never read off the end of a buffer in base32_encode()
When we "fixed" #18280 in 4e4a7d2b0c199227252a742541461ec4cc35d358 in 0291 it appears that we introduced a bug: The base32_encode function can read off the end of the input buffer, if the input buffer size modulo 5 is not equal to 0 or 3. This is not completely horrible, for two reasons: * The extra bits that are read are never actually used: so this is only a crash when asan is enabled, in the worst case. Not a data leak. * The input sizes passed to base32_encode are only ever multiples of 5. They are all either DIGEST_LEN (20), REND_SERVICE_ID_LEN (10), sizeof(rand_bytes) in addressmap.c (10), or an input in crypto.c that is forced to a multiple of 5. So this bug can't actually trigger in today's Tor. Closes bug 21894; bugfix on 0.2.9.1-alpha.
