Kees Cook d26270061a string: Remove strlcpy()
With all the users of strlcpy() removed[1] from the kernel, remove the
API, self-tests, and other references. Leave mentions in Documentation
(about its deprecation), and in checkpatch.pl (to help migrate host-only
tools/ usage). Long live strscpy().

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
