commit.c: use skip_prefix() instead of starts_with()

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.
