Philippe Mathieu-Daudé 57bc6e40e8 libvduse: Avoid warning about dangerous use of strncpy()
GCC 8 added a -Wstringop-truncation warning:

  The -Wstringop-truncation warning added in GCC 8.0 via r254630 for
  bug 81117 is specifically intended to highlight likely unintended
  uses of the strncpy function that truncate the terminating NUL
  character from the source string.

Here the next line indeed unconditionally zeroes the last byte, but
1/ the buffer has been calloc'd, so we don't need to add an extra
byte, and 2/ we called vduse_name_is_invalid() which checked the
string length, so we can simply call strcpy().

This fixes when using gcc (Ubuntu 9.4.0-1ubuntu1~20.04.1) 9.4.0:
