[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 1/3] ipc: use strlcpy where applicable

This also silences (or should silence) a few Coverity false
positives where we used strcpy before (Coverity complained
about not checking buffer size, but source buffers were
always known to be sized correctly).

Coverity issue: 260407
Coverity issue: 272565
Coverity issue: 272582

Fixes: bacaa2754017 ("eal: add channel for multi-process communication")
Fixes: f05e26051c15 ("eal: add IPC asynchronous request")
Fixes: 783b6e54971d ("eal: add synchronous multi-process communication")
