Description
When Binja recovers strings on the stack into a __builtin_strcpy type of thing, those strings should be added to the Strings view to be more easily searchable. You can search the IL to find them at the moment, but that's pretty slow (and not something you'd necessarily think of doing.)

Research direction
Start by locating the Strings view and the code that reconstructs stack strings from IL, including the __builtin_strcpy case. Trace how searchable strings are currently collected, then ensure reconstructed stack strings appear in the Strings view and can be searched without requiring manual IL inspection.
