can-utils: remove strict-aliasing compiler warning

GitHub user 'crossband' raised an issue regarding the strict-aliasing compiler
warning in his specific setup: https://github.com/linux-can/can-utils/issues/42

In fact memcpy() and memset() are a better solution than the former pointer
magics, so remove the issues and the compiler warning flag too.
