Add the strlcat function to DPDK to exist alongside the strlcpy one.
While strncat is generally safe for use for concatenation, the API for
the strlcat function is perhaps a little nicer to use, and supports
truncation detection.

See commit: 5364de644a4b ("eal: support strlcpy function") for more
details on the function selection logic, since we only should be using
the DPDK-provided version when no system-provided version is present.

   static int test_string_fns(void) { if (test_rte_strsplit() < 0)
   return -1; + if (test_rte_strlcat() < 0) +                return -1;
   return 0; }


Unrelated, but do we also need to test strlcpy, strscpy and other
functions that were introduced?


Yes, I think that would be advisable. I imagine the easiest way to test
them is to do as I have here in running comparisons with a range of inputs,
especially boundary conditions, against a known-good version for platforms
that have the functions built-in.
As always, volunteers and patches welcome... :-)
