When parsing --pack_header=, we manually skip 14 bytes to the data. Let's use skip_prefix() to do this automatically. Note that we overwrite our pointer to the front of the string, so we have to add more context to the error message. We could avoid this by declaring an extra pointer to hold the value, but I think the modified message is actually preferable; it should give translators a bit more context.
