[PULL 08/10] Fix const qualifier build errors with recent glibc

["Philippe Mathieu-Daudé" <philmd@linaro.org>]

From: Cédric Le Goater <clg@redhat.com>

A recent change in glibc 2.42.9000 [1] changes the return type of
strstr() and other string functions to be 'const char *' when the
input is a 'const char *'.

This breaks the build in various files with errors such as :

  error: initialization discards 'const' qualifier from pointer target type [-Werror=discarded-qualifiers]
    208 |         char *pidstr = strstr(filename, "%");
        |                        ^~~~~~

Fix this by changing the type of the variables that store the result
of these functions to 'const char *'.
