Hi all,
This PR removes some leftover null terminators and buffer reservations for null terminators, which have been made redundant with the new `snprintf` family of functions.
In order to find these occurrences, I methodologically used multiple regular expressions over the entire codebase. I took a look at around 130 files in total, and updated where appropriate.
I’ve tested this through tiers 1-5 on Linux (x64, AArch64), macOS (x64, AArch64) and Windows (x64). I’ve also successfully compiled for PowerPC and Zero on Linux.
