strcpy() is deprecated; use strscpy() instead.

No functional changes intended.

Hi and thank you for the patch,

The disassembler file is also part of bpftool's source code [0][1],
where it is compiled as user space code, and where strscpy() is not
defined. So I'd rather not replace this particular occurrence of
strcpy(). We could add a comment in the file to mention this, though.

Thanks,
Quentin
