Add base32hex support to encode() and decode() functions.
This adds support for base32hex encoding and decoding, as defined in
RFC 4648 Section 7. Unlike standard base32, base32hex uses the
extended hex alphabet (0-9, A-V) which preserves the lexicographical
order of the encoded data.
This is particularly useful for representing UUIDv7 values in a
compact string format while maintaining their time-ordered sort
property.
The encode() function produces output padded with '=', while decode()
accepts both padded and unpadded input. Following the behavior of
other encoding types, decoding is case-insensitive.
