Describe the solution you'd like
Add a lint for strpos === 0 to use str_starts_with and the opposite. See hhttps://core.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/55703. str_starts_with is a php 8.0 function but a polyfill was added in core in WP 5.9. https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-develop/commit/1046682e4f2453c55f836b3fe69f529daea0babc

Research direction
No file or test is named. Start by locating the existing WordPress-Coding-Standards sniffs and their tests for strpos comparisons, then review the referenced WordPress changeset and polyfill context. Done means the lint covers strpos === 0 and the opposite case according to the requested str_starts_with replacement.
