Tom Lane 244c047205 Fix some cases of indirectly casting away const. 
Newest versions of gcc+glibc are able to detect cases where code
implicitly casts away const by assigning the result of strchr() or
a similar function applied to a "const char *" value to a target
variable that's just "char *".  This of course creates a hazard of
not getting a compiler warning about scribbling on a string one was
not supposed to, so fixing up such cases is good.

This patch fixes a dozen or so places where we were doing that.
Most are trivial additions of "const" to the target variable,
since no actually-hazardous change was occurring.

Thanks to Bertrand Drouvot for finding a couple more spots than
I had.

This commit back-patches relevant portions of 8f1791c61 and
9f7565c6c into supported branches.  However, there are two
places in ecpg (in v18 only) where a proper fix is more
complicated than seems appropriate for a back-patch.  I opted
to silence those two warnings by adding casts.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

	https://www.postgresql.org/download/

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
https://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
