  Makes sure that the string is longer than prefix, so that strncmp will
do the right thing even if the string is not null-terminated.

For use in my string_view conversion patch:

	* gdbsupport/common-utils.h (startswith): Add an overloaded version
	that takes gdb::string_view arguments.

non-zero -> true
zero -> false

&& goes on next line.  And then you need to wrap the multiline expression
with (), so that emacs auto-tab-indents the && under "string".  Like this:

  return (string.length() >= pattern.length ()
          && strncmp (string.data (), pattern.data (), pattern.length ()) == 0);

Otherwise OK.
