So this is another misleading patch. If strlcpy() is deemed so dangerous nowadays, replace it with memcpy(). That is expensive too, but at least it won't create the impression that a non-existing error would ever occur On top of that, the code is handling all MAX_CMDLEN bytes twice anyway later on, so we can for sure afford the extra cost of the memcpy(). Pus, we'll have the added benefit that the unused part of the buffer will be cleared and no longer contain random data.

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).
