fix: null check in str_dup, const in file.c

Replace all uses of strcpy() with memcpy() + explicit NUL termination
or direct assignment for safety and consistency. No behavioral changes.

src/shared/file.c:
  - file_create(): strcpy -> memcpy + explicit NUL (buffer size known)

src/shared/utils.c:
  - mkdir_r(): strcpy -> memcpy for path_duplicate
  - mkdir_r(): strcpy(path_current, "/") -> direct assignment
  - mkdir_r(): strcpy loop -> memcpy + direct assignment
  - str_dup(): strcpy -> memcpy (buffer size known)

PR #196 (dry-run manifest refactoring) was already applied in a previous
commit - send_dry_run_manifest() and send_delete_manifest() helpers
already exist and are used by both send_files() and
send_files_multithreaded().
