MINOR: chunk: implement chunk_strncpy() to copy partial strings

This does like chunk_strcpy() except that the maximum string length may
be limited by the caller. A trailing zero is always appended. This is
particularly handy to extract portions of strings to put into the trash
for use with libc functions requiring a nul-terminated string.
