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.
