From issue exercism/exercism#1867

Wikipedia says the Hamming distance is not defined for strings of different length.

I am not saying the problems cannot be different, but for such a well-defined concept it would make sense to stick to one definition, especially when the READMEs provide so little information about what is expected from the implementation.

Let's clean this up so that we're using the official definition.

I'm reopening this per the discussion here: exercism/exercism#1910

Summary: The definition of "not defined" means anything could happen.
