kdb: Eliminate strncpy() warnings by replacing with strscpy()
Currently the code to manage the kdb history buffer uses strncpy() to copy strings to/and from the history and exhibits the classic "but nobody ever told me that strncpy() doesn't always terminate strings" bug. Modern gcc compilers recognise this bug and issue a warning. In reality these calls will only abridge the copied string if kdb_read() has *already* overflowed the command buffer. Thus the use of counted copies here is only used to reduce the secondary effects of a bug elsewhere in the code. Therefore transitioning these calls into strscpy() (without checking the return code) is appropriate.
