banned.h: mark strcat() as banned

The strcat() function has all of the same overflow problems
as strcpy(). And as a bonus, it's easy to end up
accidentally quadratic, as each subsequent call has to walk
through the existing string.

The last strcat() call went away in f063d38b80 (daemon: use
cld->env_array when re-spawning, 2015-09-24). In general,
strcat() can be replaced either with a dynamic string
(strbuf or xstrfmt), or with xsnprintf if you know the
length is bounded.
