We select certain test functions plus folio_migrate_refs() from

const-ified, or no further functions.

It is therefore relatively trivial to const-ify them, which
provides a basis for further const-ification further up the call
stack.

One exception is the function folio_migrate_refs() which does write to
the "new" folio pointer; there, only the "old" folio pointer is being
constified; only its "flags" field is read, but nothing written.
