// EvaluateConst checks if the data matches exactly the value specified in the schema's 'const' keyword.
// According to the JSON Schema Draft 2020-12:
//   - The value of the "const" keyword may be of any type, including null.
//   - An instance validates successfully against this keyword if its value is equal to the value of the keyword.
//
// This function performs an equality check between the data and the constant value specified.
// If they do not match, it returns a EvaluationError detailing the expected and actual values.
