feat: Implement all missing multibase encodings and API features

- Add 10 missing encodings: base16upper, base32upper, base32pad, base32padupper,
  base32hexupper, base32hexpad, base32hexpadupper, base64pad, base64urlpad, base256emoji
- Implement RFC 4648 padding support for base32 and base64 variants
- Add structured exception classes (UnsupportedEncodingError, InvalidMultibaseStringError, DecodingError)
- Add Encoder and Decoder classes for reusable encoding/decoding
- Add decode(return_encoding=True) to return encoding type
- Add encoding metadata functions (get_encoding_info, list_encodings, is_encoding_supported)
- Add decoder composition support via Decoder.or_() method
- Update tests for all new encodings and API features
- Update documentation and create news fragment

Closes #20
Achieves 100% encoding coverage (24/24 encodings)
