sodium_crypto_auth_verify — Verifies that the tag is valid for the message

### Description

sodium_crypto_auth_verify(string `$mac`, string `$message`, #[\SensitiveParameter] string `$key`): bool

Verify the authentication tag is valid for a given message and key.

Unlike with digital signatures (e.g. sodium_crypto_sign_verify_detached()), any party capable of verifying a message is also capable of authenticating their own messages. (Hence, symmetric authentication.)

### Parameters

`mac`
  Authentication tag produced by sodium_crypto_auth()
`message`
  Message
`key`
  Authentication key

### Return Values

Returns `true` on success or `false` on failure.
