[issue35970] no help flag in base64 util

[Robert Kuska]

New submission from Robert Kuska :

I failed today to print help message for base64 utility without an error:

 $ python3 -m base64 -help
option -h not recognized
usage: 
/usr/local/Cellar/python/3.7.2_1/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.7/lib/python3.7/base64.py
 [-d|-e|-u|-t] [file|-]
-d, -u: decode
-e: encode (default)
-t: encode and decode string 'Aladdin:open sesame

So I felt like this is a ripple in time space continuum worth adjusting.

I already opened a PR to address this (probably not so worthy) issue (link 
attached).
