Subject: [PATCH] tools lib: Disable redundant-delcs error for strlcpy

Disable `redundant-decls' error for strlcpy declaration and solve build
error allowing users to compile vanilla kernels.

When glibc have strlcpy (such as in ALT linux since 2004) objtool and
perf build fails with something like:

  In file included from exec-cmd.c:3:
  tools/include/linux/string.h:20:15: error: redundant redeclaration of ‘strlcpy’ [-Werror=redundant-decls]
     20 | extern size_t strlcpy(char *dest, const char *src, size_t size);
	|               ^~~~~~~

It's very hard to produce a perfect fix for that since it is a header
file indirectly pulled from many sources from different Makefile builds.

Fixes: ce99091 ("perf tools: Move strlcpy() from perf to tools/lib/string.c")
Fixes: 0215d59 ("tools lib: Reinstate strlcpy() header guard with __UCLIBC__")
