eal: add const to init function parameter

  Change the parameter type of argv parameter to rte_eal_init from
"char **" to "char * const *", since we don't modify the argv pointers
passed in.

Looks good but probably needs to cascade down a few more levels

Yep. I only did a quick compile test, which passed, but I see the CI has
thrown up a bunch more issues. I'll do a v2 later.

Actually, this is not going to work as a patch. Marking as rejected in
patchwork. This is because after parsing the EAL args, we actually assign
the last arg handled, often "--", to be a copy of argv[0]. In short, we
guarantee that when we do:

	int ret = rte_eal_init(argc, argv);
	/* error handling */
	argv += ret;
	argc -= ret;

that argv[0] is the original program name set as argv[0], and so
application arg processing can be done in the usual way. Because of this,
we do modify the params, and so can't set it as an array of const pointers.
