alpha: Remove arch-specific strncpy() implementation

strncpy() has no remaining callers in the kernel[1]. Remove the
alpha-specific assembly implementation and __HAVE_ARCH_STRNCPY define,
falling back to the generic version in lib/string.c.

The __stxncpy helper (stxncpy.S/ev6-stxncpy.S) is retained as it is
still used by strncat.
