current_password_store() checks the password length before removing the
trailing newline, which can reject valid passwords that are exactly
->maxlen bytes long.
It also passes ->maxlen to strscpy(), which truncates passwords without
a newline.
Use strchrnul() to measure the password length up to the newline, then
copy that many bytes and add a trailing NUL terminator.
