perf header: Fix unchecked usage of strncpy()

The strncpy() function may leave the destination string buffer
unterminated, better use strlcpy() that we have a __weak fallback
implementation for systems without it.

This fixes this warning on an Alpine Linux Edge system with gcc 8.2:

  util/header.c: In function 'perf_event__synthesize_event_update_name':
  util/header.c:3625:2: error: 'strncpy' output truncated before terminating nul copying as many bytes from a string as its length [-Werror=stringop-truncation]
    strncpy(ev->data, evsel->name, len);
    ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  util/header.c:3618:15: note: length computed here
    size_t len = strlen(evsel->name);
                 ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
