We have a function to copy strings safely and we have a function to copy strings and zero the tail of the destination (if source string is shorter than destination buffer) but we do not have a function to do both at once. This means developers must write this themselves if they desire this functionality. This is a chore, and also leaves us open to off by one errors unnecessarily. Add a function that calls strscpy() then memset()s the tail to zero if the source string is shorter than the destination buffer. Signed-off-by: Tobin C.
