summary:

Fix compiler warning in call_readline() (GH-10820) (GH-12452)

Replace strncpy() with memcpy() in call_readline() to fix the
following warning, the NUL byte is written manually just after:

Modules/readline.c: In function ‘call_readline’:
Modules/readline.c:1303:9: warning: ‘strncpy’ output truncated before
terminating nul copying as many bytes from a string as its length
[-Wstringop-truncation]
         strncpy(p, q, n);
         ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Modules/readline.c:1279:9: note: length computed here
     n = strlen(p);
         ^~~~~~~~~

(cherry picked from commit 1600f60414e620c4298c15dac803427d8f0a977c)
