[PATCH 1/2] Revert "lib: string: Fix strlcpy return value", fix callers

Both the Linux kernel and libbsd agree that strlcpy() should always
return strlen(src) and not include the NUL termination. The incorrect
U-Boot implementation makes it impossible to check the return value for
truncation, and breaks code written with the usual implementation in
mind (for example, fdtdec_add_reserved_memory() was subtly broken).

I reviewed all callers of strlcpy() and strlcat() and fixed them
according to my understanding of the intended function.

This reverts commit d3358ecc54be0bc3b4dd11f7a63eab0a2842f772 and adds
related fixes.
