move libbpf_strlcpy() to bpf_util.h, and replace strncpy() with
libbpf_strlcpy(), fix compile warning.

Compile samples/bpf, warning:
$ cd samples/bpf
$ make
...
cgroup_helpers.c: In function ‘__enable_controllers’:
cgroup_helpers.c:80:17: warning: ‘strncpy’ specified bound 4097 equals destination size [-Wstringop-truncation]

Nope, BPF CI fails once again with:

Please do not send broken stuff that was not even compile tested.

Here's a small howto for running BPF selftests:
