Add prefixcmp() (stol^H^H^H^Hborrowed from git)

This allows us to avoid the nasty repetition in strncmp(foo,
bar, strlen(foo)).  We'll miss out on the compiler optimizing
strlen() into sizeof() - 1 for string literals for this; but we
don't use this it for performance-critical functions anyways...
