Replace unsafe uses of strcpy() to copy the name
argument into the sid.name buffer with scnprintf()
to guard against possible buffer overflows.

Even though we don't actually care about the return
value in this specific case, scnprintf() is still
preferred over snprintf() due to scnprintf() returning
the much more logical length of what was *actually* encoded
into the destination array instead of returning length
the resulting string *would* be, assuming it all fit
into the destination array as snprintf() does.

Maybe one day someone will use the return value, and
since the behavior is exactly the same apart from the
return value it would be better to account for that
possibility and program defensively.
