fix: SA violation fixes and simplification for idle task length restrictions (#1227)

fix: SA violation fixes and simplification for idle task length restrictions

This change:
* Removes the dependency on strings.h for the prvCreateIdleTask function
* Resolves several static analysis violations reported by tools like Parasoft
