Explain why there is no consttime_memcmp().

Inspired by a patch from Kamil Rytarowski.

branches: 1.2.4; 1.2.6; 1.2.8;
Fix sense of consttime_memequal and update all callers.

Now it returns true (nonzero) to mean equal and false (zero) to mean
inequal, as the name suggests.

As promised on tech-userlevel back in June:

# 1.1 24-Jun-2013 riastradh

Replace consttime_bcmp/explicit_bzero by consttime_memequal/explicit_memset.

consttime_memequal is the same as the old consttime_bcmp.
explicit_memset is to memset as explicit_bzero was to bcmp.

Passes amd64 release and i386/ALL, but I'm sure I missed some spots,
so please let me know.
