Fix string/tester.c build with GCC 8.
GCC 8 warns about more cases of string functions truncating their output or not copying a trailing NUL byte. This patch fixes testsuite build failures caused by such warnings in string/tester.c. In general, the warnings are disabled around the relevant calls using DIAG_* macros, since the relevant cases are being deliberately tested. In one case, the warning is with -Wstringop-overflow= instead of -Wstringop-truncation; in that case, the conditional is __GNUC_PREREQ (7, 0) (being the version where -Wstringop-overflow= was introduced), to allow the conditional to be removed sooner, since it's harmless to disable the warning for a GCC version where it doesn't actually occur. In the case of warnings for strncpy calls in test_memcmp, the calls in question are changed to use memcpy, as they don't copy a trailing NUL and the point of that code is to test memcmp rather than strncpy. Tested (compilation) with GCC 8 for x86_64-linux-gnu with build-many-glibcs.py (in conjunction with Martin's patch to allow glibc to build). * string/tester.c (test_stpncpy): Disable -Wstringop-truncation for stpncpy calls for GCC 8. (test_strncat): Disable -Wstringop-truncation warning for strncat calls for GCC 8. Disable -Wstringop-overflow= warning for one strncat call for GCC 7. (test_strncpy): Disable -Wstringop-truncation warning for strncpy calls for GCC 8. (test_memcmp): Use memcpy instead of strncpy for calls not copying trailing NUL.
