Remove obsolete defense against strxfrm() bugs.

Old versions of Solaris and illumos had buffer overrun bugs in their
strxfrm() implementations.  The bugs were fixed more than a decade ago
and the relevant releases are long out of vendor support.  It's time to
remove the defense added by commit be8b06c3.
