Subject: [PATCH v7 3/5] string.h: Add FORTIFY coverage for strscpy()

From: Francis Laniel <laniel_francis@...vacyrequired.com>

The fortified version of strscpy ensures the following before vanilla strscpy
is called:
1. There is no read overflow because we either size is smaller than src length
or we shrink size to src length by calling fortified strnlen.
2. There is no write overflow because we either failed during compilation or at
runtime by checking that size is smaller than dest size.
