mptcp: prefer strscpy over strcpy
strcpy() performs no bounds checking on the destination buffer. This could result in linear overflows beyond the end of the buffer, leading to all kinds of misbehaviors. The safe replacement is strscpy() [1]. This is in preparation of a possible future step where all strcpy() uses will be removed in favour of strscpy() [2].
