LibCore: Use timing_safe_compare to compare password hash values

Browse source 
This is not strictly required, as we are comparing hashes, not the
password it self. However given this is generic code that could be
used anywhere in the system, it seems prudent to be cautious and
make sure we don't inadvertently leak any information about the hash
via timing attacks in future usages of `LibCore::Account`.
