Title:
  gcc 8.2 reports stringop-truncation when building qemu

Status in QEMU:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  QEMU 3.0

  block/sheepdog.c: In function 'find_vdi_name':
  block/sheepdog.c:1239:5: error: 'strncpy' specified bound 256 equals 
destination size [-Werror=stringop-truncation]
       strncpy(buf + SD_MAX_VDI_LEN, tag, SD_MAX_VDI_TAG_LEN);
       ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  If this is the intended behavior, please suppress the warning. For
  example:

  #pragma GCC diagnostic push
  #pragma GCC diagnostic ignored "-Wstringop-truncation"
      strncpy(buf + SD_MAX_VDI_LEN, tag, SD_MAX_VDI_TAG_LEN);
  #pragma GCC diagnostic pop

  This also happens on other sources, for example hw/acpi/core.c, so
  another option is to suppress it globally on CFLAGS (-Wno-stringop-
  truncation)
