I tried using this function and the results were longer than they should have been. This was because it was encoding to standard base64 and then re-encoding *that* to URL-safe base64. This change fixes that

The test assumes 22 byte default, but had 32 because it was double-base64 encoding (once regular, and once URL-safe). Without the double encoding, the tests fail because they were expecting 32 (then 24), but the intent was URL-safe base encoding without padding. Originally based on patricksrobertson#13, but fixes the tests and padding.
