15 out of 72 invocations of virStrcpy(Static) ignore the return value as it's either impossible to fail or in certain cases a truncated copy is still good enough. Unfortunately virStrcpy doesn't copy anything in such case as the checks are done first. Fix this by using g_strlcpy for the implementation and removing G_GNUC_WARN_UNUSED_RESULT from the function so that callers can decide when it's okay.
