Subject: [PATCH] lib: string.c:  A speed optimized for strncpy  

This variant is in my tests about 7-10% faster, and I also think
it is perhaps even clearer code than before.

I assume that more will do the testing, I do not know if we should do tests
on different types of hardware as well, my test was on a new Intel I7.
