Dominik c5f46412a3 domain: fix strncat buffer-size argument in is_rev_synth()
strncat(dst, src, n) truncates src to n bytes, but n should be the
remaining space in dst, not the total buffer size.  Passing MAXDNAME
as n allowed the combined prefix + address + "." + domain to overflow
the MAXDNAME-byte namebuff if c->domain was close to MAXDNAME chars.

Replace MAXDNAME with MAXDNAME - strlen(name) - 1 at each call site
(lines 178-179 for IPv4, 204 for the IPv6 hex-fragment loop, 208-209
for the IPv6 suffix) so the append is always bounded by actual
remaining capacity.

Security implications: strncat(name, c->domain, MAXDNAME) passes the
full buffer size instead of remaining space. Overflow requires a local
admin to configure a --synth-domain with a domain name > ~960 chars.
The actual exploitable window is narrow: the admin would need a
--synth-domain with a domain name close to 1024 chars (which check_name
permits) combined with a non-trivial prefix or IPv6 address.
Not remotely exploitable.
