Speed up `apt-cache pkgnames` by remembering the prefix length

Jörn-Thorben Hinz requested to merge jth/apt:apt-cache-pkgnames-remember-prefix-length into main

The length of the package name prefix was repeatedly calculated here (visible in an objdump), once in the comparison with every known package name.

Provide a minor but easy potential speed-up by remembering this string length, which does not change at runtime.
