Split large string section; add truncation advice

* manual/examples/strncat.c: Remove.
This example was misleading, as the code would have undefined
behavior if "hello" was longer than SIZE.  Anyway, the manual
shouldn't encourage strncpy+strncat for this sort of thing.
* manual/string.texi (Copying Strings and Arrays): Split into
three sections Copying Strings and Arrays, Concatenating Strings,
and Truncating Strings, as this section was way too long.  All
cross-referenced changed.  Add advice about string-truncation
functions.  Remove misleading strncat example.
