Description of your changes

This PR adds a series of helper functions to the commons utility to get the type of a value at runtime and perform strict equality.

The helper functions existing before this PR are used across many of the Powertools utilities while the ones added in the PR are mainly for the upcoming JMESPath utility. Overtime we can adopt some of the newer ones wherever necessary on the existing codebase.
