const time authentication in bozohttpd (pt. 2)



Hello,

 as discussed previously [1] bozohttpd checks secrets using strcmp, which may
leak information about compared data. Previous patch was simply
over-complicated and wrong. riastradh@ suggested how it should look like,
basing on that I wrote a new patch proposal [2]. I'd like to commit it, if
there's no objections.
