Changed default behaviour of `ActiveSupport::SecurityUtils.secure_compare`,
to make it not leak length information even for variable length string. Renamed old `ActiveSupport::SecurityUtils.secure_compare` to `fixed_length_secure_compare`, and started raising `ArgumentError` in case of length mismatch of passed strings.
