[libc] Prevent strndup() from reading beyond the end of the string

Browse Source 
strndup() may be called on a string which is not NUL-terminated.  Use
strnlen() instead of strlen() to ensure that we do not read beyond the
end of such a string.

Add self-tests for strndup(), including a test case with an
unterminated string.
