Cover letter [PATCH 0/3] Use string bound functions (take #2)

Hi!

I killed safe_strcpy() and almost all users from strcpy() and strncpy(). The remaining users are acm and acpi.
When this is done, strcpy() and strncpy() can be removed.

patch 1/3:
Changes arch-independent code.
Warning: Since tools re-uses libelf, this breaks the tool-building of the Linux distris, whose glibc have NO strlcpy/strlcat.
Solaris and *BSD are fine. They have these functions.
Keir, it's up to you if you apply this or if you wait until a fix for the tools is available.

patch 2/3:
Changes for x86 platform.

patch 3/3:
Changes for ppc/ia64 platforms.
Warning: Due to lack of hw, these two patches are NOT even compile-tested. IA64 and PPC maintainers, please verify.
