simplify the strlcpy/strlcat manual page substantially. do less
explaining of "what a C string is", and make it more clear that these

'strlcpy and snprintf considered harmful' paper instead).

note to those from other projects reading this commit message: It would
be very good if this new manual was picked up in your project.

Clarify that if strlcat() does not find a NUL within siz byte it
will not NUL terminate either.

Document boundary condition when size < strlen(dst).

"of", not "on" (from Henric Jungheim)

The constant's name is MAXPATHLEN, not MAXPATHNAMELEN; closes PR/1491.
From ianm@kashmir.cit.nepean.uws.edu.au.

Another round of man page cleanup, this time to remove more hard sentence
