v6.6.0 pre-proposal

[Fishrock123]

I'd like to do this week's release. Here's a rough cut of the commits.

I need to fix up some conflicts to get everything ready and probably don;t have time to finish to make an actual PR today.

Aiming for tomorrow.

[0764bc4] - Revert "crypto: add crypto.timingSafeEqual" (James M Snell) #8225
[0fc5e0d] - (SEMVER-MINOR) crypto: add crypto.timingSafeEqual (not-an-aardvark) #8040

These don't need to be pulled in. There's an effort to get timingSafeEqual back in that should land soon.

cc @addaleax maybe?

[addaleax]

Uh, yeah, that one’s on me I guess… I’ll do a backport PR for #8174, it should just be a one-line difference

now running into this:
