Subject: [PATCH 1/7] netfilter: ipset: refactor deprecated strncpy

Fixes several buffer overread bugs present in `ip_set_core.c` by using
`strscpy` over `strncpy`.

---
There exists several potential buffer overread bugs here. These bugs
exist due to the fact that the destination and source strings may have
the same length which is equal to the max length `IPSET_MAXNAMELEN`.

Here's an example:
|  #define MAXLEN 5
|  char dest[MAXLEN];
|  const char *src = "hello";
|  strncpy(dest, src, MAXLEN); // -> should use strscpy()
|  // dest is now not NUL-terminated

Note:
This patch means that truncation now happens silently (which is better
than a silent bug) but perhaps we should have some assertions that
fail when a truncation is imminent. Thoughts?
