build: enable -Wcast-qual, fix or silence compiler warnings
The issues found fell into these categories, with the applied fixes:

- const was accidentally stripped.
  Adjust code to not cast or cast with const.

- const/volatile missing from arguments, local variables.
  Constify arguments or variables, adjust/delete casts. Small code
  changes in a few places.

- const must be stripped because an API dependency requires it.
  Strip `const` with `CURL_UNCONST()` macro to silence the warning out
  of our control. These happen at API boundaries. Sometimes they depend
  on dependency version, which this patch handles as necessary. Also
  enable const support for the zlib API, using `ZLIB_CONST`. Supported
  by zlib 1.2.5.2 and newer.

- const must be stripped because a curl API requires it.
  Strip `const` with `CURL_UNCONST()` macro to silence the warning out
  of our immediate control. For example we promise to send a non-const
  argument to a callback, though the data is const internally.

- other cases where we may avoid const stripping by code changes.
  Also silenced with `CURL_UNCONST()`.

- there are 3 places where `CURL_UNCONST()` is cast again to const.
  To silence this type of warning:
  ```
  lib/vquic/curl_osslq.c:1015:29: error: to be safe all intermediate
    pointers in cast from 'unsigned char **' to 'const unsigned char **'
    must be 'const' qualified [-Werror=cast-qual]
  lib/cf-socket.c:734:32: error: to be safe all intermediate pointers in
    cast from 'char **' to 'const char **' must be 'const' qualified
    [-Werror=cast-qual]
  ```
  There may be a better solution, but I couldn't find it.

These cases are handled in separate subcommits, but without further
markup.

If you see a `-Wcast-qual` warning in curl, we appreciate your report
about it.
