bfd_get_filename

This macro says:
/* Cast from const char * to char * so that caller can assign to
   a char * without a warning.  */

I reckon that isn't such a good idea since it can result in char*
variables where const char* is appropriate.  Not very many places
need the char* cast.

	* bfd-in.h (bfd_get_filename): Don't cast to char*.
