Optimize Strings_startWith()

Use strncmp() combined with a strlen() will give better performance
than a strstr in worst case. Especially when the match prefix is a
constant and not a variable.

While we are at it, replace the match() function in linux/Battery.c,
which uses a naive algorithm, with a macro that does better job by
utilizing Strings_startWith().
