/**
    Safe and more convenient replacement for strncpy().

    This function copies the source string @a src to the destination buffer @a
    dst of size @a n without overflowing the buffer and ensuring that it is
    always @NUL-terminated.

    Example of use:
    @code
        char buf[256];
        if ( wxStrlcpy(buf, GetSomeString(), WXSIZEOF(buf)) > WXSIZEOF(buf) )
            ... handle truncation ...
    @endcode
    Notice that using wxStrncpy() in similar way is wrong, the above is broadly
    equivalent to
    @code
        char buf[256];
        buf[WXSIZEOF(buf) - 1] = '\0';
        wxStrncpy(buf, GetSomeString(), WXSIZEOF(buf) - 1);
        if ( buf[WXSIZEOF(buf) - 1] != '\0' )
        {
            ... truncation occurred ...
            // need to NUL-terminate string manually
            buf[WXSIZEOF(buf) - 1] = '\0';
        }
    @endcode
    which should explain the advantage of using wxStrlcpy().

    Notice that this function is similar to the OpenBSD strlcpy() function.

    The template parameter @a T can be either @c char or @c wchar_t.

    @param dst
        Destination buffer of size (greater or) equal to @a n.
    @param src
        @NUL-terminated source string.
    @param n
        The size of the destination buffer.
    @return
        The length of @a src, if the returned value is greater or equal to @a n
        then there was not enough space in the destination buffer and the
        string was truncated.
