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

Even call sites utilizing length-bounded destination buffers should
switch over to using `strtomem` or `strtomem_pad`. In this case,
however, the compiler is unable to determine the size of the `data`
buffer which renders `strtomem` unusable. Due to this, `strscpy`
should be used.

It should be noted that most call sites already zero-initialize the
destination buffer. However, I've opted to use `strscpy_pad` to maintain
the same exact behavior that `strncpy` produced (zero-padded tail up to
`len`).

Also see [3].
