stat_opt: check extra strlen call

As in earlier commits, the diff option parser uses
starts_with to find that an argument starts with "--stat-",
and then adds strlen("stat-") to find the rest of the
option.

However, in this case the starts_with and the strlen are
separated across functions, making it easy to call the
latter without the former. Let's use skip_prefix instead of
raw pointer arithmetic to catch such a case.
