* Define stripPrefix; fixes trac #1464

For the gory details the thread starts at
http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/libraries/2007-June/007657.html
There was general agreement that this should go in. A couple of more
general variants were discussed, but concensus was that the simple,
specific function should go in regardless.
There was no real concensus on what the name should be, but stripPrefix
seems to have at least as much support as anything else. dropPrefix was
disliked as it returned a Maybe type, unlike all other drop* functions.
