Bryan A Ford d58bf64d5a crypto/subtle: simplify and speed up constant-time primitives
This changes improves the ConstantTimeByteEq and ConstantTimeEq
primitives to both simplify them and improve their performance.

Also, since there were no benchmarks for this package before,
this change adds benchmarks for ConstantTimeByteEq,
ConstantTimeEq, and ConstantTimeLessOrEq.

benchmarks on darwin/amd64, 10 runs on old vs new code:

name                    old time/op  new time/op  delta
ConstantTimeByteEq-4    2.28ns ±16%  1.53ns ± 2%  -33.09%  (p=0.000 n=10+9)
ConstantTimeEq-4        2.77ns ±10%  1.51ns ± 2%  -45.59%  (p=0.000 n=10+9)
ConstantTimeLessOrEq-4  1.52ns ± 8%  1.50ns ± 2%     ~     (p=0.866 n=9+9)
