cmd_copy and cmd_shipped have similar functionality. The difference is
that cmd_copy uses 'cp' while cmd_shipped 'cat'.

Unify them into cmd_copy because this macro name is more intuitive.

Going forward, cmd_copy will use 'cat' to avoid the permission issue.
I also thought of 'cp --no-preserve=mode' but this option is not
mentioned in the POSIX spec [1], so I am keeping the 'cat' command.

do we want to retitle the _shipped suffix for this file to _copy now, too?
fs/unicode/Makefile:11
fs/unicode/Makefile:33
fs/unicode/Makefile:34

Either way

I think _copy doesn't convey the sense that this is distributed with the
kernel tree, even though it is also generated from in-tree sources.
Even if that is not the original sense of _shipped (is it?), it makes
sense to me that way, but _copy doesn't.

The patch looks good to me, though.

I only renamed the action part (cmd_shipped -> cmd_copy)
because I thought it was clearer.

Actually I do not get the sense of _shipped pretty much, but
I think we can keep the file suffix part (utf8data.c_shipped) as is.
