`strncpy` is deprecated and as such we should prefer more robust and
less ambiguous interfaces.
In this case, all of `press_str`, `repeat_str` and `release_str` are
explicitly marked as nonstring:
| struct { /* valid when type == INPUT_TYPE_KBD */
| char press_str[sizeof(void *) + sizeof(int)] __nonstring;
| char repeat_str[sizeof(void *) + sizeof(int)] __nonstring;
| char release_str[sizeof(void *) + sizeof(int)] __nonstring;
| } kbd;
... which makes `strtomem_pad` a suitable replacement as it is
functionally the same whilst being more obvious about its behavior.
