/**
* Return the exact length of a UTC interval in `unit`, as a real (possibly fractional) number.
*
* - Distinct from `intervalCountUtc`, which counts calendar `unit` boundaries *crossed* rather
* than measuring exact duration — an interval from 23:59 to 00:01 touches 2 day boundaries
* via `intervalCountUtc` but has an exact length of ~0.0014 days via `intervalLengthUtc`.
* - Boundaries are UTC boundaries — no DST is involved.
* - Returns `0` for a zero-length interval (`start === end`).
* - Returns `null` on invalid input (unparseable start/end, `start > end`, unsupported unit,
* leap-second strings).
*
* @param start ISO UTC datetime string for the interval start
* @param end ISO UTC datetime string for the interval end
* @param unit unit string — any `DateTimeUnit`
* @returns exact length of the interval expressed in `unit`, or null on invalid input
*
* @example intervalLengthUtc("2024-01-01T23:59:00Z", "2024-01-02T00:01:00Z", "day") // 0.001388888888888889
* @example intervalLengthUtc("2024-01-01T23:59:00Z", "2024-01-02T00:01:00Z", "minute") // 2
* @example intervalLengthUtc("2024-01-01T00:00:00Z", "2024-01-01T00:00:00Z", "day") // 0
* @example intervalLengthUtc("invalid", "2024-01-02T00:00:00Z", "day") // null
