[ft4] Sometimes channel names are not displayed correctly. Fixes: #7601
When user programmed radio manually and added a name shorter than 8 characters, the remaining characters were filled with garbage on the Chirp UI. This was due to padding with 0x7F used by the Yaesu; the solution is to pad with 0x20 (space characters) instead.
