aoe: replace strncpy with strscpy

`strncpy` is deprecated for use on NUL-terminated destination strings [1].

`aoe_iflist` is expected to be NUL-terminated which is evident by its
use with string apis later on like `strspn`:
| 	p = aoe_iflist + strspn(aoe_iflist, WHITESPACE);

It also seems `aoe_iflist` does not need to be NUL-padded which means
`strscpy` [2] is a suitable replacement due to the fact that it
guarantees NUL-termination on the destination buffer while not
unnecessarily NUL-padding.
