[PATCH 00/20] Manual replacement of all strlcpy in favor of strscpy

strlcpy() copy a C-String into a sized buffer, the result is always a
valid NULL-terminated that fits in the buffer, howerver it has severals
issues. It reads the source buffer first, which is dangerous if it is non
NULL-terminated or if the corresponding buffer is unbounded. Its safe
replacement is strscpy(), as suggested in the deprecated interface [1].

We plan to make this contribution in two steps:
- Firsly all cases of strlcpy's return value are manually replaced by the
  corresponding calls of strscpy() with the new handling of the return
  value (as the return code is different in case of error).
- Then all other cases are automatically replaced by using coccinelle.

This series covers manual replacements.

2.20.1

The strlcpy() reads the entire source buffer first, it is dangerous if
the source buffer lenght is unbounded or possibility non NULL-terminated.
It can lead to linear read overflows, crashes, etc...

As recommended in the deprecated interfaces [1], it should be replaced
by strscpy.

This commit replaces all calls to strlcpy that handle the return values
by the corresponding strscpy calls with new handling of the return
values (as it is quite different between the two functions).

Cool. A quick check shows me 1031 strscpy() calls with no return
checks. All or some of these probably need to be reviewed and add
return checks. Is this something that is in the plan to address as
part of this work?

thanks,

len == -E2BIG is superfluous as len < 2 will catch it anyway.
