fortify: Make sure strlen() may still be used as a constant expression
In preparation for enabling Clang FORTIFY_SOURCE support, redefine
strlen() as a macro that tests for being a constant expression
so that strlen() can still be used in static initializers, which is
lost when adding __pass_object_size and __overloadable.
An example of this usage can be seen here:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/202201252321.dRmWZ8wW-lkp@intel.com/
Notably, this constant expression feature of strlen() is not available
for architectures that build with -ffreestanding. This means the kernel
currently does not universally expect strlen() to be used this way, but
since there _are_ some build configurations that depend on it, retain
the characteristic for Clang FORTIFY_SOURCE builds too.
