This wrapper calculates the destination buffer's size, to avoid errors
in the size calculation.
A curious fact: this macro did exist in Version 7 Unix (with a slightly
different name). I found it by chance, investigating the origins of
strncpy(3) and strncat(3) in V7, after Branden suggested me to do so,
related to recent discussions about string_copying(7).
alx@debian:~/src/unix/unix/Research-V7$ grepc SCPYN .
./usr/src/cmd/login.c:#define SCPYN(a, b) strncpy(a, b, sizeof(a))
Our implementation is slightly better, because using nitems() we're
protected against passing a pointer instead of an array, and it's also
conceptually more appropriate: for wide characters, it would be
#define WCSNCPY(dst, src) wcsncpy(dst, src, NITEMS(dst))
