crypto.timingSafeEqual, but works with strings

# string-timing-safe-equal

[`crypto.timingSafeEqual()`](https://nodejs.org/docs/latest-v23.x/api/crypto.html#cryptotimingsafeequala-b) with two differences:

- Works with strings in addition to `Uint8Array`s and `Buffer`s
- Returns `false` when lengths are different (instead of throwing)

Usage:

```javascript
import timingSafeEqual from "string-timing-safe-equal";

timingSafeEqual("abc", "abc");
// => true

timingSafeEqual("abc", "xyz");
// => false

timingSafeEqual("abc", "abcdefghi");
// => false
```
