[PATCH v2 12/25] prepare_index(): declare return value to be (const char *)

[Michael Haggerty <mhagger@alum.mit.edu>]

Declare the return value to be const to make it clear that we aren't
giving callers permission to write over the string that it points at.
(The return value is the filename field of a struct lock_file, which
can be used by a signal handler at any time and therefore shouldn't be
tampered with.)
