[RFC PATCH v2 2/3] lib/string: move sysfs string functions out of string.c

[Christophe Leroy]

In order to implement interceptors for string functions, move
higher level sysfs related string functions out of string.c

This patch creates a new file named string_sysfs.c

Signed-off-by: Christophe Leroy <christophe.leroy at c-s.fr>
---
 v2: restored sysfs_streq() which had been lost in the move.
