strcpy() is deprecated and sprintf() does not perform bounds checking
either. Although an overflow is unlikely, it's better to proactively
avoid it by using the safer strscpy() and scnprintf(), respectively.

Additionally, unify memory allocation for 'hname' to simplify and
improve aa_policy_init().
