-Remove overly optimistic definition of strmov() as stpcpy().
-
-mysql uses this macro with overlapping source and destination strings,
-which is verboten per spec, and fails on some Red Hat platforms.
-Deleting the definition is sufficient to make it fall back to a
-byte-at-a-time copy loop, which should consistently give the
-expected behavior.
-
-Note: the particular case that prompted this patch is reported and fixed
-at http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=48864.  However, my faith in upstream's
-ability to detect this type of error is low, and I also see little evidence
-of any real performance gain from optimizing these calls.  So I'm keeping
-this patch.
