[swift-users] hasSuffix(_:) and .hasPrefix(_:) String methods missing on Linux

[Alex Blewitt]

FYI:

https://github.com/apple/swift/blob/master/stdlib/public/core/StringLegacy.swift#L73 <https://github.com/apple/swift/blob/master/stdlib/public/core/StringLegacy.swift#L73>

These two functions are (currently) only available with the Objective-C bridge, which the Linux port doesn’t have.
