mailinfo: simplify parsing of header values

peff · gitster · commit f447d0293e80 · 2020-02-11T10:19:33.000-08:00
Our code to parse header values first checks to see if a line starts
with a header, and then manually skips past the matched string to find
the value. We can do this all in one step by modeling after
skip_prefix(), which returns a pointer into the string after the
parsing.

This lets us remove some repeated strings, and will also enable us to
parse more flexibly in a future patch.
