[libvirt] [PATCH 05/11] util: drop the stpcpy gnulib module

stpcpy returns a pointer to the end of the string just copied
which in theory makes it easier to then copy another string
after it. We only use stpcpy in one place though and that
is trivially rewritten to avoid stpcpy with no less in code
clarity or efficiency.
