Remove most usages of strncmp()

The supposed safety blanket of this function is better handled by
explicit length checking and usages of strlen() on known NULL-terminated
strings rather than hoping things fit in a buffer. We also have no need
to fully fill a PATH_MAX length variable with NULLs every time as long
as a single terminating byte is there. Remove usages of it by using
strcpy() or memcpy() as appropriate, after doing length checks via
strlen().
