Avoid allocations with (*regexp.Regexp).MatchString

We should use `(*regexp.Regexp).MatchString` instead of
`(*regexp.Regexp).Match([]byte(...))` when matching string to avoid
unnecessary `[]byte` conversions and reduce allocations.

Example benchmark:

var defaultTagRegex = regexp.MustCompile("\n *#nosec")

func BenchmarkMatch(b *testing.B) {
	for i := 0; i < b.N; i++ {
		if match := defaultTagRegex.Match([]byte("\n #nosec")); !match {
			b.Fail()
		}
	}
}

func BenchmarkMatchString(b *testing.B) {
	for i := 0; i < b.N; i++ {
		if match := defaultTagRegex.MatchString("\n #nosec"); !match {
			b.Fail()
		}
	}
}
