Subject: [PATCH] fortify: Short-circuit known-safe calls to strscpy()

Replacing compile-time safe calls of strcpy()-related functions with
strscpy() was always calling the full strscpy() logic when a builtin
would be better. For example:

	char buf[16];
	strcpy(buf, "yes");

would reduce to __builtin_memcpy(buf, "yes", 4), but not if it was:

	strscpy(buf, yes, sizeof(buf));

Fix this by checking if all sizes are known at compile-time.
