When compiling on ubuntu 20.04, a warning was issued about possible
truncation of the path string for the power management socket.

channel_manager.c: In function ‘add_all_channels’:
channel_manager.c:470:41: warning: ‘%s’ directive output may be truncated writing up to 255 bytes into a region of size 90 [-Wformat-truncation=]
  470 |     sizeof(chan_info->channel_path), "%s%s",
      |                                         ^~

This can be fixed by adding in an explicit truncation check to the code and
handling it appropriately.
