Subject: [PATCH v2 1/4] string: Redefine strscpy_pad() as a macro

In preparation for making strscpy_pad()'s 3rd argument optional, redefine
it as a macro. This also has the benefit of allowing greater FORITFY
introspection, as it couldn't see into the strscpy() nor the memset()
within strscpy_pad().
