Avoid stpncpy

It’s not worth the porting hassle, and as the glibc manual says,
“this function is generally a poor choice for processing strings”.
* admin/merge-gnulib (GNULIB_MODULES): Remove stpncpy.
* exec/configure.ac: Do not check for stpncpy.
* exec/exec.c (rpl_stpncpy, stpncpy): Remove this replacement.
(exec_0): Properly clear buffer1.  Use memcpy instead of
stpncpy to add the trailing name.  This code is clearly
still suboptimal but efficiency is not that important here
and I tried to minimize the change.
* lib/gnulib.mk.in, m4/gnulib-comp.m4: Regenerate.
