    tools/console: Use const whenever we point to literal strings
    
    Literal strings are not meant to be modified. So we should use const
    char * rather than char * when we want to store a pointer to them.
    
    Take the opportunity to remove the cast (char *) in console_init(). It
    is unnecessary and will remove the const.
