This function doesn't do what we really want.  If the string to be
copied is the same size as the destination, you end up with a string
that is not NUL terminated.  If it's shorter, we waste time padding
the output with unneeded NULs.

I propose we replace it with pcb_strlcpy (strlcpy does what we want,
but is bsd-specific).

This happens to mean diverging from upstream for gts/named.c, by at
least including something local that can #define strncpy
