ipmi: refactor deprecated strncpy

`strncpy` is deprecated for use on NUL-terminated destination strings [1].

In this case, strncpy is being used specifically for its NUL-padding
behavior (and has been commented as such). Moreover, the destination
string is not required to be NUL-terminated [2].

We can use a more robust and less ambiguous interface in
`memcpy_and_pad` which makes the code more readable and even eliminates
the need for that comment.

Let's also use `strnlen` instead of `strlen()` with an upper-bounds
check as this is intrinsically a part of `strnlen`.

Also included in this patch is a simple 1:1 change of `strncpy` to
`strscpy` for ipmi_ssif.c. If NUL-padding is wanted here as well then we
should opt again for `strscpy_pad`.
