strlcpy/strlcat: Remove references to snprintf

While strlcpy and snprintf are somewhat similar, there's big differences
between strlcat and snprintf which leads to confusion. Remove the
comparison, since it's ultimately not that useful: the snprintf man page
has similar language to strlcpy, so it doesn't provide a better
reference. The two implementations are otherwise unrelated.

This explanation is supposed to be simpler and better. In particular
"comparing it to the snprintf API provides lots of value, since it raises the
bar on understanding, so that programmers/auditors will a better job calling
all 3 of these functions."
