[PATCH] misra: add deviation of Rule 17.7

[Dmytro Prokopchuk1 <dmytro_prokopchuk1@xxxxxxxx>]

MISRA C Rule 17.7 states: "The value returned by a function having
non-void return type shall be used."

Deviate functions like 'memcpy()', 'memset()', 'memmove()', 'snprintf()',
'strlcpy()', 'strlcat()', as they return a value purely for convenience,
their primary functionality (e.g., memory or string operations) remains
unaffected, and their return values are generally non-critical and seldom
relied upon. Update 'deviations.rst' file accordingly.

No functional changes.
