fmt_with_err: add a comment that truncation is OK
Functions like die_errno() use fmt_with_err() to combine the
caller-provided format with the strerror() string. We use a
fixed stack buffer because we're already handling an error
and don't have any way to report another one. Our buffer
should generally be big enough to fit this, but if it's not,
truncation is our best option. Let's add a comment to that
effect, so that anybody auditing the code for truncation
bugs knows that this is fine.
