This subtle difference between strncpy() and strscpy() regarding the

strncpy() is deprecated for NUL-terminated destination buffers [1]. Use
strscpy() instead and remove the manual NUL-termination.
Use min() to simplify the size calculation.
Compile-tested only.

strncpy() is deprecated for use on NUL-terminated destination strings
[1] and as such we should prefer more robust and less ambiguous string
interfaces.
This whole process of 1) determining smaller length so we don't overread
the buffer and 2) manually NUL-terminating our buffer so we can use in
