fix valgrind error in erts/emulator/drivers/unix/ttsl_drv.c
Running some valgrind memory checking showed the error below: ==18040== Thread 6: ==18040== Source and destination overlap in memcpy(0xf3f3f04, 0xf3f3f08, 52) ==18040== at 0x4C2CFA0: memcpy@@GLIBC_2.14 (in /usr/lib/valgrind/vgpreload_memcheck-amd64-linux.so) ==18040== by 0x5CF527: del_chars (ttsl_drv.c:845) ==18040== by 0x5CED5E: ttysl_from_erlang (ttsl_drv.c:658) ==18040== by 0x4982E3: erts_write_to_port (io.c:1235) ==18040== by 0x49A2BD: erts_port_command (io.c:2223) ==18040== by 0x48C054: do_send (bif.c:1962) ==18040== by 0x48CB6E: erl_send (bif.c:2162) ==18040== by 0x566599: process_main (beam_emu.c:1665) ==18040== by 0x4B1A95: sched_thread_func (erl_process.c:4834) ==18040== by 0x6075E2: thr_wrapper (ethread.c:106) ==18040== by 0x5560E99: start_thread (pthread_create.c:308) This occurred on Linux using R15B01 while the shell was emitting a prompt, but the same problem is still present in R16B. Change the memcpy on line 845 of ttsl_drv.c to memmove as valgrind suggests. After the change, verify with valgrind that the error no longer occurs.
