abseil-string-find-startswith

Checks whether a std::string::find() result is compared with 0, and suggests replacing with absl::StartsWith(). This is both a readability and performance issue.

string s = "...";
if (s.find("Hello World") == 0) { /* do something */ }

becomes

string s = "...";
if (absl::StartsWith(s, "Hello World")) { /* do something */ }
