In record_author_date() & parse_gpg_output(), the callers of starts_with() not just want to know if the string starts with the prefix, but also can benefit from knowing the string that follows the prefix.

By using skip_prefix(), we can do both at the same time.

        Thanks to Michael Haggerty.
This is in respect to GSoC microproject #10.

In record_author_date(), extra and useless calls to strlen due to using starts_with() were removed by using skip_prefix(). Extra variable "ident_line" was used as "buf" is used in for loop update check.

Other usages of starts_with() in the same file can be found with,
$ grep -n starts_with commit.c

1116: else if (starts_with(line, gpg_sig_header) && 1196: if (starts_with(buf, sigcheck_gpg_status[i].check + 1)) {

The starts_with() in line 1116 was left as it is, as strlen values were pre computed as global variables, and replacing may hamper the clarity. The starts_with() in line 1196 was replaced as it abstracts way the skip_prefix part by directly using the function. Also skip_prefix() is inline when compared to starts_with().
