[U-Boot] [PATCH v3] sandbox: Use memmove() to move overlapping regions

The use of strcpy() to remove characters at the start of a string is safe in U-Boot, since we know the implementation. But in os.c we are using the C library's strcpy() function, where this behaviour is not permitted.
Update the code to use memmove() instead.
Reported-by: Coverity (CID: 173279) Signed-off-by: Simon Glass sjg@chromium.org ---
Changes in v3: - Fix commit message to say memmove() instead of memcpy()
Changes in v2: - Also remove the leading / from the "/spl" path - Correct the string calculation
