types: improve comparison reliability of binary strings
The existing `ucv_compare()` implementation utilized `strcmp()` to compare two ucode string values, which may lead to incorrect results for strings containing null bytes as the comparison prematurely aborts when encountering the first null. Rework the string comparison logic to use `memcmp()` for comparing both ucv strings with each other in order to ensure that expressions such as `"" == "\u0000"` lead to the expected `false` result.
