I'm not sure why this change was made unless it's to prevent timing attacks?
couch_util:verify seems to do something equivalent and it's strange to me
that we should be making calls into the couchdb sources from erlang-oauth,
which should be independent. If it's for the timing reason, can we put a
verify inside erlang-oauth and get it upstream or something for the future?
