Having found a lot of unfixed constness issues in recent development, I thought perhaps it was time to get proactive, so I compiled the whole codebase with -Wwrite-strings. That turned up a huge load of const problems, which I've fixed in this commit: the Unix build now goes cleanly through with -Wwrite-strings, and the Windows build is as close as I could get it (there are some lingering issues due to occasional Windows API functions like AcquireCredentialsHandle not having the right constness). Notable fallout beyond the purely mechanical changing of types: - the stuff saved by cmdline_save_param() is now explicitly dupstr()ed, and freed in cmdline_run_saved. - I couldn't make both string arguments to cmdline_process_param() const, because it intentionally writes to one of them in the case where it's the argument to -pw (in the vain hope of being at least slightly friendly to 'ps'), so elsewhere I had to temporarily dupstr() something for the sake of passing it to that function - I had to invent a silly parallel version of const_cmp() so I could pass const string literals in to lookup functions. - stripslashes() in pscp.c and psftp.c has the annoying strchr nature
