In implementing the -Wstringop-overflow warning I missed stpcpy.
The attached patch adds the required checking.  Given how simple
it is, does it qualify for GCC 7 despite stage 4?

I think we should probably defer this as well. We're really at a place where we'd really prefer to avoid making unnecessary changes. My worry with this patch is we could start seeing code which used stpcpy start giving warnings. It's unlikely (as I don't think stpcpy is used that much), but I'd rather wait.

And ISTM that we may be better keeping the tests separate (ie, a new test file rather than included in stringop-chk-4.c). It makes merges easier if something does need to change in that file for gcc-7.

Our focus really needs to be on issues that affect our ability to make a release. ie, regressions.
