Re: [libvirt] [PATCH 03/15] maint: avoid 'const fooPtr' in several util files

'const fooPtr' is the same as 'foo * const' (the pointer won't change, but it's contents can). But in general, if an interface is trying to be const-correct, it should be using 'const foo *' (the pointer is to data that can't be changed). Fix up offenders in src/util outside of the virnet namespace. Also, make a few virSocketAddr functions const-correct, for easier conversions in future patches. * src/util/virbuffer.h (virBufferError, virBufferUse) (virBufferGetIndent): Use intended type. * src/util/virmacaddr.h (virMacAddrCmp, virMacAddrCmpRaw) (virMacAddrSet, virMcAddrFormat, virMacAddrIsUnicast) (virMacAddrIsMulticast): Likewise. * src/util/virebtables.h (ebtablesAddForwardAllowIn) (ebtablesRemoveForwardAllowIn): Likewise. * src/util/virsocketaddr.h (virSocketAddrSetIPv4Addr): Drop incorrect const. (virMacAddrGetRaw, virSocketAddrFormat, virSocketAddrFormatFull): Make const-correct. (virSocketAddrMask, virSocketAddrMaskByPrefix) (virSocketAddrBroadcast, virSocketAddrBroadcastByPrefix) (virSocketAddrGetNumNetmaskBits, virSocketAddrGetIpPrefix) (virSocketAddrEqual, virSocketAddrIsPrivate) (virSocketAddrIsWildcard): Use intended type. * src/util/virbuffer.c (virBufferError, virBufferUse) (virBufferGetIndent): Fix fallout. * src/util/virmacaddr.c (virMacAddrCmp, virMacAddrCmpRaw) (virMacAddrSet, virMcAddrFormat, virMacAddrIsUnicast) (virMacAddrIsMulticast): Likewise. * src/util/virebtables.c (ebtablesAddForwardAllowIn) (ebtablesRemoveForwardAllowIn): Likewise. * src/util/virsocketaddr.c (virSocketAddrMask, virMacAddrGetRaw) (virSocketAddrMaskByPrefix, virSocketAddrBroadcast) (virSocketAddrBroadcastByPrefix, virSocketAddrGetNumNetmaskBits) (virSocketAddrGetIpPrefix, virSocketAddrEqual) (virSocketAddrIsPrivate, virSocketAddrIsWildcard) (virSocketAddrGetIPv4Addr, virSocketAddrGetIPv6Addr) (virSocketAddrFormat, virSocketAddrFormatFull): Likewise.
