Subject: telemetry: avoid possible string overflow
This commit improves string handling in the legacy telemetry client
registration by avoiding temporary buffers and adding length checks for
unix domain socket paths.

Does this calculation for len include the opening quote in the path? The
calculation appears to be endquote - colon + 1, which would include the
quote character in the length, and then strncpy copies starting from
colon + 1 which still includes the quote character.
Would the string copy operation include the quote character in the socket
path string when it should be stripped out?
