This function is orignally used for determining file extensions of DASH
formats. Now in DASH, ext is determined by mime_type. See #8766 for more
information.
1. Renamed to encode_base_n()
2. Allow tables longer than 62 characters
3. Raise ValueError instead of AssertionError for invalid input data
4. Return the first character in the table instead of '0' for number 0
5. Add tests
With cn_verification_proxy, our http_response() is called twice, one from
PerRequestProxyHandler.proxy_open() and another from normal
YoutubeDL.urlopen(). As a result, for proxies honoring Accept-Encoding, the
following bug occurs:
$ youtube-dl -vs --cn-verification-proxy https://secure.uku.im:993 "test:letv"
