qed: replace uses of strncpy
strncpy() is deprecated for use on NUL-terminated destination strings [1] and as such we should prefer more robust and less ambiguous string interfaces. This patch eliminates three uses of strncpy(): Firstly, `dest` is expected to be NUL-terminated which is evident by the manual setting of a NUL-byte at size - 1. For this use specifically, strscpy() is a viable replacement due to the fact that it guarantees NUL-termination on the destination buffer. The next two cases should simply be memcpy() as the size of the src string is always 3 and the destination string just wants the first 3 bytes changed. To be clear, there are no buffer overread bugs in the current code as the sizes and offsets are carefully managed such that buffers are NUL-terminated. However, with these changes, the code is now more robust and less ambiguous (and hopefully easier to read).
