This function takes the prefix as a ptr/len pair, but in
every caller the length is exactly strlen(ptr). Let's
simplify the interface and just take the string. This saves
callers specifying it (and in some cases handling a NULL
prefix).

In a handful of cases we had the length already without
calling strlen, so this is technically slower. But it's not
likely to matter (after all, if the prefix is non-empty
we'll allocate and copy it into a buffer anyway).
