BUILD: bug.h: add a warning in the base API when unsafe functions are used

Browse Source 
Once in a while we introduce an sprintf() or strncat() function by
accident. These ones are particularly dangerous and must never ever
be used because the only way to use them safely is at least as
complicated if not more, than their safe counterparts. By redefining
a few of these functions with an attribute_warning() we can deliver a
message to the developer who is tempted to use them. This commit does
it for strcat(), strcpy(), strncat(), sprintf(), vsprintf(). More could
come later if needed, such as strtok() and maybe a few others, but these
are less common.
