It's a more consistent change with the rest of the series and I don't
believe it has much different behavior to `strncpy` (other than
NUL-termination) as that will continue to pad to `n` as well.

Do you think the `_pad` for 1/7, 6/7 and 7/7 should be changed back to
`strscpy` in a v3? I really am shooting in the dark as it is quite
hard to tell whether or not a buffer is expected to be NUL-padded or
not.
