Sébastien Helleu 6948aea626 relay: fix timing attack on password authentication (GHSA-vhv8-g2r9-cwcc) ...

The relay authentication used non-constant-time comparisons (strcasecmp,
strcmp) to verify password hashes and plaintext passwords, allowing an
attacker to derive the expected hash byte-by-byte from response timing
and then authenticate without knowing the password.

- SHA/PBKDF2 hex hash comparisons: normalize the client-supplied hash to
  uppercase and compare in constant time over the fixed expected length.
- Plaintext password comparison: HMAC-SHA256 both passwords with a fresh
  per-call random key and compare the fixed-size MACs in constant time,
  hiding both per-byte timing and the password length.

Add string_memcmp_constant_time helper in core, exposed via the plugin
API. Bump WEECHAT_PLUGIN_API_VERSION accordingly.
