tracing/boot: Replace strlcpy with strscpy

Browse source

strlcpy() reads the entire source buffer first.
This read may exceed the destination size limit.
This is both inefficient and can lead to linear read
overflows if a source string is not NUL-terminated [1].
In an effort to remove strlcpy() completely [2], replace
strlcpy() here with strscpy().

Direct replacement is safe here since return value of -E2BIG
is used to check for truncation instead of sizeof(dest).
