Subject: [patch 1/2] lib/string.c: use the name "C-string" in comments

For strncpy() and friends the source string may or may not have an
actual NUL character at the end.  The documentation is confusing in this
because it specifically mentions that you are passing a "NUL-terminated"
string.  Wikipedia says that "C-string" is an alternative name we can
use instead.
