scripts/bloat-o-meter: use .startswith rather than fragile slicing

joshtriplett · michal42 · commit c2e182fab04c · 2013-11-07T10:47:13.000+01:00
str.startswith has existed since at least Python 2.0, in 2000; use it
rather than a fragile comparison against an initial slice of a string,
which requires hard-coding the length of the string to compare against.
