use skip_prefix to avoid repeating strings

It's a common idiom to match a prefix and then skip past it
with strlen, like:

  if (starts_with(foo, "bar"))
	  foo += strlen("bar");

This avoids magic numbers, but means we have to repeat the
string (and there is no compiler check that we didn't make a
typo in one of the strings).

We can use skip_prefix to handle this case without repeating
ourselves.
