[PATCH v2 1/2] xen/char: console: Use const whenever we point to literal strings



From: Julien Grall <jgrall@xxxxxxxxxx>

Literal strings are not meant to be modified. So we should use const
char * rather than char * when we want to store a pointer to them.

The array should also not be modified at all and is only used by
xenlog_update_val(). So take the opportunity to add an extra const and
move the definition in the function.

Signed-off-by: Julien Grall <jgrall@xxxxxxxxxx>

    Changes in v2:
        - The array content should never be modified
        - Move lvl2opt in xenlog_update_val()
