tomoyo: refactor deprecated strncpy
`strncpy` is deprecated for use on NUL-terminated destination strings [1].
A suitable replacement is `strscpy` [2] due to the fact that it
guarantees NUL-termination on its destination buffer argument which is
_not_ the case for `strncpy`!
It should be noted that the destination buffer is zero-initialized and
had a max length of `sizeof(dest) - 1`. There is likely _not_ a bug
present in the current implementation. However, by switching to
`strscpy` we get the benefit of no longer needing the `- 1`'s from the
string copy invocations on top of `strscpy` being a safer interface all
together.
