[PATCH] ionic: replace deprecated strncpy with strscpy

[Justin Stitt <justinstitt@google.com>]

strncpy() is deprecated for use on NUL-terminated destination strings
[1] and as such we should prefer more robust and less ambiguous string
interfaces.

NUL-padding is not needed due to `ident` being memset'd to 0 just before
the copy.

Considering the above, a suitable replacement is `strscpy` [2] due to
the fact that it guarantees NUL-termination on the destination buffer
without unnecessarily NUL-padding.
