We get smaller code at all optimization levels by not creating a
temporary object, just comparing lengths first and then using
traits_type::compare. This does less work than calling substr then
operator==.
libstdc++-v3/ChangeLog:
* include/std/string_view (starts_with(basic_string_view)):
Compare lengths first and then call traits_type::compare
directly.
