  [Thanks Pedro, both comments are fixed now. Note that this patch depends on
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2019-10/msg00032.html]

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:
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2019-10/msg00030.html

gdb/ChangeLog:

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