-Wwrite-strings: Add a PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords "const char *" overload

Browse Source 
-Wwrite-strings flags code like:

   static char *keywords[] = {"command", "from_tty", "to_string", NULL };

as needing "(char *)" casts, because string literals are "const char []".

We can get rid of the casts by changing the array type like this:

 -  static char *keywords[] = {"command", "from_tty", "to_string", NULL };
 +  static const char *keywords[] = {"command", "from_tty", "to_string", NULL };

However, passing the such array to PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords no longer
works OOTB, because PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords expects a "char **":

  PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords(PyObject *args, PyObject *kw,
                              const char *format,
			      char *keywords[], ...);

and "const char **" is not implicitly convertible to "char **".  C++
is more tolerant that C here WRT aliasing, and a const_cast<char **>
is fine.  However, to avoid having all callers do the cast themselves,
this commit defines a gdb_PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords function here
with a corresponding 'keywords' parameter type that does the cast in a
single place.

	* python/python-internal.h (gdb_PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords): New
	static inline function.
	* python/py-arch.c (archpy_disassemble): Constify 'keywords'
	array and use gdb_PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords.
	* python/py-cmd.c (cmdpy_init): Likewise.
	* python/py-finishbreakpoint.c (bpfinishpy_init): Likewise.
	* python/py-inferior.c (infpy_read_memory, infpy_write_memory)
	(infpy_search_memory): Likewise.
	* python/py-objfile.c (objfpy_add_separate_debug_file)
	(gdbpy_lookup_objfile): Likewise.
	* python/py-symbol.c (gdbpy_lookup_symbol)
	(gdbpy_lookup_global_symbol): Likewise.
	* python/py-type.c (gdbpy_lookup_type): Likewise.
	* python/py-value.c (valpy_lazy_string, valpy_string): Likewise.
	* python/python.c (execute_gdb_command, gdbpy_write, gdbpy_flush):
	Likewise.
