This PR optimizes the SerilogLogger.PrepareWrite method by using a StartsWith(char) overload instead of StartsWith(string) on >= net6.0, >= netstandard2.0 platforms.

That looks like a pretty large gain for a simple change :-)

Does it have any effect on the local benchmarkdotnet project? (there were some other perf changes going on for that in #247 )

In #247 this issue is addressed with StringComparison.Ordinal, which is optimized on modern runtimes

I like the StringExtensions polyfill; nicer to use the more modern APIs 👍

I'll merge and resolve conflicts with the other PR. We'll need to release a 9.x of this library fairly soon, but an 8.0.1 with this could also be worthwhile, given the throughput boost :-)
