string_copying.7: tfix

On some of the commas: There are a few of instances of

Subject verb object partclause, advphrase.

For example:

This function catenates the input character sequence
| subject | verb | object |

contained in a null-padded wixed-width buffer,
| participial clause |

into a destination string.
| adverbial phrase |

Imagining the participial clause away, there shouldn't be a comma preceding the restrictive adverbial phrase: The input character sequence is really, always catenated into a destination string; that is essential. For example:

This function catenates the input character sequence into a destination string.

The participial clause, being non-restrictive---there is but one input character sequence that could be meant---, should be enclosed by commas. That is the existing comma's purpose and doesn't work without the added, first comma.
