Subject[PATCH] tools/lib/api/fs/fs.c: Fix misuse of strncpy()
gcc 8 reports:

In function 'fs__env_override',
inlined from 'fs__get_mountpoint' at fs/fs.c:228:6:
fs/fs.c:222:2: error: 'strncpy' specified bound 4096 equals destination size [-Werror=stringop-truncation]
strncpy(fs->path, override_path, sizeof(fs->path));
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'm not convinced it makes sense to truncate the copied string here,
but since we're already doing so let's ensure it's still null-
terminated. Use strlcpy() instead.
