replace strings.Split(N) for strings.Cut() or alternatives

Go 1.18 and up now provides a strings.Cut() which is better suited for
splitting key/value pairs (and similar constructs), and performs better:

```go
func BenchmarkSplit(b *testing.B) {
	b.ReportAllocs()
	data := []string{"12hello=world", "12hello=", "12=hello", "12hello"}
	for i := 0; i < b.N; i++ {
		for _, s := range data {
			_ = strings.SplitN(s, "=", 2)[0]
		}
	}
}

func BenchmarkCut(b *testing.B) {
	b.ReportAllocs()
	data := []string{"12hello=world", "12hello=", "12=hello", "12hello"}
	for i := 0; i < b.N; i++ {
		for _, s := range data {
			_, _, _ = strings.Cut(s, "=")
		}
	}
}
```

    BenchmarkSplit
    BenchmarkSplit-10    	 8244206	       128.0 ns/op	     128 B/op	       4 allocs/op
    BenchmarkCut
    BenchmarkCut-10      	54411998	        21.80 ns/op	       0 B/op	       0 allocs/op

While looking at occurrences of `strings.Split()`, I also updated some for alternatives,
or added some constraints;

- for cases where an specific number of items is expected, I used `strings.SplitN()`
  with a suitable limit. This prevents (theoretical) unlimited splits.
- in some cases it we were using `strings.Split()`, but _actually_ were trying to match
  a prefix; for those I replaced the code to just match (and/or strip) the prefix.
