-Wstringop-truncation warnings

This patch is aimed at silencing gcc8 -Wstringop-truncation warnings.

Unfortunately adding  __attribute__ ((__nonstring)) doesn't work in a
number of the places patched here, (see
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=85643) so if you have
recent glibc headers installed you'll need to configure binutils with
--disable-werror to compile using gcc8 or gcc9.

include/
	* ansidecl.h: Import from gcc.
	* coff/internal.h (struct internal_scnhdr): Add ATTRIBUTE_NONSTRING
	to s_name.
	(struct internal_syment): Add ATTRIBUTE_NONSTRING to _n_name.
bfd/
	* elf-linux-core.h (struct elf_external_linux_prpsinfo32_ugid32),
	(struct elf_external_linux_prpsinfo32_ugid16),
	(struct elf_external_linux_prpsinfo64_ugid32),
	(struct elf_external_linux_prpsinfo64_ugid16): Add ATTRIBUTE_NONSTRING
	to pr_fname and pr_psargs fields.  Remove GCC diagnostic pragmas.
	Move comment to..
	* elf.c (elfcore_write_prpsinfo): ..here.  Indent nested preprocessor
	directives.
	* elf32-arm.c (elf32_arm_nabi_write_core_note): Add ATTRIBUTE_NONSTRING
	to data.
	* elf32-ppc.c (ppc_elf_write_core_note): Likewise.
	* elf32-s390.c (elf_s390_write_core_note): Likewise.
	* elf64-s390.c (elf_s390_write_core_note): Likewise.
	* elfxx-aarch64.c (_bfd_aarch64_elf_write_core_note): Likewise.
	* elf64-x86-64.c (elf_x86_64_write_core_note): Add GCC diagnostic
	pragmas.
	* peXXigen.c (_bfd_XXi_swap_scnhdr_out): Use strnlen to avoid
	false positive gcc-8 warning.
gas/
	* config/obj-evax.c (shorten_identifier): Use memcpy in place
	of strncpy.
	* config/obj-macho.c (obj_mach_o_make_or_get_sect): Ensure
	segname and sectname fields are NUL terminated.
