[PATCH:libX11 5/7] Preserve constness in casting arguments through the Data*() routines

Casts were annoying gcc by dropping constness when changing types,
when routines simply either copy data into the request buffer or
send it directly to the X server, and never modify the input.

Fixes gcc warnings including:
ChProp.c: In function 'XChangeProperty':
ChProp.c:65:6: warning: cast discards '__attribute__((const))' qualifier from pointer target type [-Wcast-qual]
ChProp.c:65:6: warning: cast discards '__attribute__((const))' qualifier from pointer target type [-Wcast-qual]
ChProp.c:74:6: warning: cast discards '__attribute__((const))' qualifier from pointer target type [-Wcast-qual]
ChProp.c:74:6: warning: cast discards '__attribute__((const))' qualifier from pointer target type [-Wcast-qual]
ChProp.c:83:6: warning: cast discards '__attribute__((const))' qualifier from pointer target type [-Wcast-qual]
SetHints.c: In function 'XSetStandardProperties':
SetHints.c:262:20: warning: cast discards '__attribute__((const))' qualifier from pointer target type [-Wcast-qual]
SetPntMap.c: In function 'XSetPointerMapping':
SetPntMap.c:46:5: warning: cast discards '__attribute__((const))' qualifier from pointer target type [-Wcast-qual]
SetPntMap.c:46:5: warning: cast discards '__attribute__((const))' qualifier from pointer target type [-Wcast-qual]
StBytes.c: In function 'XStoreBuffer':
StBytes.c:97:33: warning: cast discards '__attribute__((const))' qualifier from pointer target type [-Wcast-qual]
StName.c: In function 'XStoreName':
StName.c:40:27: warning: cast discards '__attribute__((const))' qualifier from pointer target type [-Wcast-qual]
StName.c: In function 'XSetIconName':
StName.c:51:27: warning: cast discards '__attribute__((const))' qualifier from pointer target type [-Wcast-qual]
