verifySignature with invalid message

[nurs-jubatyrov]

When calling verifySignature you can append any character to the message payload and it would verify the signature correctly.

Steps To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Call verifySignature with argument and append any character to the message payload.
2. The function should return false instead of true.

Additional context
The issue is in hex2buf function in https://github.com/ecadlabs/taquito/blob/27f57de79ab464b7c4d9255275c2f48216214fad/packages/taquito-utils/src/taquito-utils.ts#L199C3-L199C3 which would truncate if the length of the message is odd.
