446bfffcd6cfcaca141988a9d844aac61a704866 crypto/subtle: make ConstantTimeCompare return zero for args of different length.
This is more useful than panicking, since otherwise every caller needs
to do the length check before calling; some will forget, and have a
potential submarine crasher as a result. Other implementations of this
functionality do a length check.
This is backward compatible, except if someone has written code that
relies on this panicking with different length args. However, that was
not the case before Go 1.3 either.
Updates #7304.
