Get rid fo purple_strlcpy and purple_strlcat. These are convenience
functions that call g_strlcpy and g_strlcat.
They're only mildly convenient, though. And only used in one place. The
reason I don't like them is that I think it's easy to use them incorrectly.
It's easy to use the functions and not realize that they use sizeof() to
determine the size of the destination buffer. I think it's too easy to
accidentally use these functions with a string on the heap (which wouldn't
work correctly).
