strncmp(str, const, len) is error-prone because len
is easy to have typo.
The example is the hard-coded len has counting error
or sizeof(const) forgets - 1.
So we prefer using newly introduced str_has_prefix
to substitute such strncmp.

Changes in v2:
  - Revise the description.
  - Utilize str_has_prefix's return value to
    eliminate some hard codes.
