Checks whether file has the prefix specified by prefix.
In other words, if the names of initial elements of file's
pathname match prefix. Only full pathname elements are matched,
so a path like /foo is not considered a prefix of /foobar, only
of /foo/bar.
A GFile is not a prefix of itself. If you want to check for
equality, use g_file_equal().
This call does no I/O, as it works purely on names. As such it can
sometimes return FALSE even if file is inside a prefix (from a
filesystem point of view), because the prefix of file is an alias
of prefix.
