[RFC REPOST] xen: Enable -Wwrite-strings

[Andrew Cooper <andrew.cooper3@xxxxxxxxxx>]

This is the remainder change to get x86 compiling with -Wwrite-strings.  ARM
still has some cleanup to go.

There are two swamps left.

  1) efi_arch_handle_cmdline().  Swapping name.s for name.cs makes the code
     compile, but only because the underlying union launders the pointer back
     to being mutable.

  2) dom0 cmdline.  There are various string literals which get moved/copied
     around but even with this const-ing, it only compiles because of a
     pointer laundered through strstr().

I think we do want to get Xen to a point where we can compile with
-Wwrite-strings unilaterally active, because it covers a lot of obvious and
simple cases, but that will involve fixing these two swaps and I don't think
we want to just take this patch and call it done.

For ARM, here is a gitlab run from a while back:

  https://gitlab.com/xen-project/people/andyhhp/xen/-/pipelines/931418508

There's one breakage here:

  In file included from arch/arm/efi/boot.c:700:
  arch/arm/efi/efi-boot.h: In function 'efi_arch_handle_cmdline':
  arch/arm/efi/efi-boot.h:482:16: error: assignment discards 'const' qualifier 
from pointer target type [-Werror=discarded-qualifiers]
    482 |         name.s = "xen";
        |                ^

which which mirrors the x86 side, but others such as:

  drivers/char/arm-uart.c: In function 'dt_uart_init':
  drivers/char/arm-uart.c:81:17: error: assignment discards 'const' qualifier 
from pointer target type [-Werror=discarded-qualifiers]
     81 |         options = "";
        |                 ^

which will need looking in to.  Please can someone else look into the ARM
side.
