kdb: Replace deprecated strcpy() with helper function in kdb_defcmd()
strcpy() is deprecated; use the new helper function kdb_strdup_dequote() instead. In addition to string duplication similar to kdb_strdup(), it also trims surrounding quotes from the input string if present. kdb_strdup_dequote() also checks for a trailing quote in the input string which was previously not checked.
