ecpg: Fix zero-termination of string generated by intoasc()

intoasc(), a wrapper for PGTYPESinterval_to_asc that converts an
interval to its textual representation, used a plain memcpy() when
copying its result. This could miss a zero-termination in the result
string, leading to an incorrect result.

The routines in informix.c do not provide the length of their result
buffer, which would allow a replacement of strcpy() to safer strlcpy()
calls, but this requires an ABI breakage and that cannot happen in
back-branches.
