GHSA-2q8v-3gqq-4f8p: concat built-in can corrupt memory in vyper

### Summary `concat` built-in can write over the bounds of the memory buffer that was allocated for it and thus overwrite existing valid data. The root cause is that the `build_IR` for `concat` doesn't properly adhere to the API of copy functions (for `>=0.3.2` the `copy_bytes` function). A contract search was performed and no vulnerable contracts were found in production. Tracked in issue https://github.com/vyperlang/vyper/issues/3737 ### Details The `build_IR` allocates a new internal variable for the concatenation: https://github.com/vyperlang/vyper/blob/3b310d5292c4d1448e673d7b3adb223f9353260e/vyper/builtins/functions.py#L534-L550 Notice that the buffer is allocated for the `maxlen` + 1 word to actually hold the length of the array. Later the `copy_bytes` function is used to copy the actual source arguments to the destination: https://github.com/vyperlang/vyper/blob/3b310d5292c4d1448e673d7b3adb223f9353260e/vyper/builtins/functions.py#L569-L572 The `dst_data` is defined via: ...

Ubuntu Security Notice USN-6590-1

Ubuntu Security Notice 6590-1 - It was discovered that Xerces-C++ was not properly handling memory management operations when parsing XML data containing external DTDs, which could trigger a use-after-free error. If a user or automated system were tricked into processing a specially crafted XML document, an attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code. This issue only affected Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. It was discovered that Xerces-C++ was not properly performing bounds checks when processing XML Schema Definition files, which could lead to an out-of-bounds access via an HTTP request. If a user or automated system were tricked into processing a specially crafted XSD file, a remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service.
