Replace the strcpy() calls that copy the device name into ifr->ifr_name
with strscpy() to avoid potential overflows and guarantee NUL termination.

Destination is ifr->ifr_name (size IFNAMSIZ).

Tested in QEMU (BusyBox rootfs):
 - Created TUN devices via TUNSETIFF helper
 - Set addresses and brought links up
 - Verified long interface names are safely truncated (IFNAMSIZ-1)

Since both dst and src are arrays of IFNAMSIZ, can drop the third
argument. Then it is inferred from the field sizes, which is more
robust.

Replace the strcpy() calls that copy the device name into ifr->ifr_name
with strscpy() to avoid potential overflows and guarantee NULL termination.

Destination is ifr->ifr_name (size IFNAMSIZ).

Tested in QEMU (BusyBox rootfs):
 - Created TUN devices via TUNSETIFF helper
 - Set addresses and brought links up
 - Verified long interface names are safely truncated (IFNAMSIZ-1)

v2:
- Dropped third argument from strscpy(), inferred from field size.
