[New-bugs-announce] [issue25923] More const char

[Serhiy Storchaka]

New submission from Serhiy Storchaka:

Proposed patch adds the const qualifier to char* parameter declarations and static char arrays if appropriate. This makes the code more strict and can help to catch bugs or generate more efficient code. In additional it can decrease memory consumption by avoiding copying constant data.
