[PATCH 1/2] ident: stop assuming that `gw_gecos` is writable

["Johannes Schindelin via GitGitGadget" <gitgitgadget@gmail.com>]

From: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>

In 590e081dea7c (ident: add NO_GECOS_IN_PWENT for systems without
pw_gecos in struct passwd, 2011-05-19), code was introduced to iterate
over the `gw_gecos` field; The loop variable is of type `char *`, which
assumes that `gw_gecos` is writable.

However, it is not necessarily writable (and it is a bad idea to have it
writable in the first place), so let's switch the loop variable type to
`const char *`.
