perf ui helpline: Use strlcpy() as a shorter form of strncpy() + explicit set nul
The strncpy() function may leave the destination string buffer
unterminated, better use strlcpy() that we have a __weak fallback
implementation for systems without it.
In this case we are actually setting the null byte at the right place,
but since we pass the buffer size as the limit to strncpy() and not
it minus one, gcc ends up warning us about that, see below. So, lets
just switch to the shorter form provided by strlcpy().
This fixes this warning on an Alpine Linux Edge system with gcc 8.2:
ui/tui/helpline.c: In function 'tui_helpline__push':
ui/tui/helpline.c:27:2: error: 'strncpy' specified bound 512 equals destination size [-Werror=stringop-truncation]
strncpy(ui_helpline__current, msg, sz)[sz - 1] = '\0';
