Use strlcpy in create_unix_sockaddr()
Using strncpy meant that if listenaddress were ever >= sizeof(sockaddr_un.sun_path), we would fail to nul-terminate sun_path. This isn't a big deal: we never read sun_path, and the kernel is smart enough to reject the sockaddr_un if it isn't nul-terminated. Nonetheless, it's a dumb failure mode. Instead, we should reject addresses that don't fit in sockaddr_un.sun_path. Coverity found this; it's CID 428. Bugfix on 0.2.0.3-alpha.

+ passing it to the kernel. (Not a security issue: kernels are
