[PATCH] lib stringc cleanup restore useful memmove const

[Paul Jackson]

A couple of (char *) casts removed in a previous cleanup patch
in lib/string.c:memmove() were actually useful, as they
suppressed a couple of warnings:

	assignment discards qualifiers from pointer target type        

Fix by declaring the local variable const in the first place,
so casts aren't needed to strip the const qualifier.
