I'm soon sending a v2 series that prefers `strscpy_pad` to `strscpy`
as per Florian and Kees' feedback.

It should be noted that there was a similar refactor that took place
in this tree as well [1]. Wolfram Sang opted for `strscpy` as a
replacement to `strlcpy`. I assume the zero-padding is not needed in
such instances, right?
